Your Mid-Long Canadian Weekend Sunday Evening Open Thread

Is everything going well for you? The long weekend is proceeding according to plan so far.

I’ve been sober long enough to survive my niece’s 7th birthday party. Now it’s back to the steak & cider.

That’s right, I’ve chosen fermented apples for this weekend. Mostly because the dogs don’t like Beerdrunkrob. Ciderrob is a more pleasant fellow that can remember to take them for walks & doesn’t yell at them for chewing so loud.


Tonight’s sports:

  • NHL:
    • no game scheduled; Gary Bettman thought 3:00PM Sunday was the perfect fucking time for the faceoff of a pivotal Conference final game.
  • CHL:
    • Memorial Cup – Guelph vs. Halifax – 7:00PM | Sportsnet360
  • NBA:
    • Bucks at Raptors – 7:00PM | TNT / Sportsnet
  • MLB:
    • Cubs at Nationals – 7:00PM | ESPN / TSN2
  • MLS:
    • LA Galaxy vs. Colorado – 8:00PM | TSN

Hopefully, before the night is over, I’ve finally seen “John Wick 3”.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Dame Lillard is actually his drag persona

Unsurprised

That. That’s a good one.

Redshirt

So there is a character that I like, that I relate to. Of course he was killed in the finale.

Of course, I’m talking about Spider with a Top Hat.

Oh, wrong finale?

The Maestro

Well, at least Ramin Djawadi consistently brought the heat.

It’s not over yet?

Gratliff

lol WWE announcing Super Showdown as the largest event in WWE history and completely refusing to say where it is because it’s another Saudi blood money show

Unsurprised

Hooray for blood money

Horatio Cornblower

Eh, it all spends the same.

Unsurprised

GFDI. Javascript or something is fucking with file access across every browser.

Sharkbait

So should I binge Game of Thrones while on paternity leave?

Horatio Cornblower

The first 5 seasons, yes. Then just ask one of us what happens from there.

Gratliff

8 years and one character who doesn’t suck out of seemingly thousands

ballsofsteelandfury

Is the hot blonde that killed everyone dead yet?

Gratliff

STAB SOMEBODY WHY ARE YOU SITTING THERE BEING SAD THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DEFEND HERSELF IS ARYA

Gratliff

hooooooooooly shit this is bad

Gratliff

Somebody get Jon a fucking plaid shirt and move him to Canada

Gratliff

This is closer than I’m comfortable with

The Maestro

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

herodotus450

Heehee, watching GoT via message board, and it seems like hte leaks were all true. What a hilariously bad ending.

Gratliff

I’m just not real sure why Grey Worm isn’t murdering nobles right this moment

ballsofsteelandfury

I never knew Big Ben was in GoT…

Gratliff

Time to roll out the guillotine

WCS

No, sir. I don’t like it.

/NAWT a GoT spoiler
//has never watched the show or read the books
///Ren & Stimpy fucking ruled

Unsurprised

I’m trying to figure out why my computer won’t allow operations that I probably shouldn’t be doing anyway (downloading Instagram stories, certain streaming sites). It seems GoT will have to wait.

King Hippo

waiting up for 10:23, beecause want to see the Barry finale. But honestly will likely fall asleep reading.

WCS

Waited until today to binge watch the season.

O DIS GUN BE GUDE BULLEEEEE DAT

Unsurprised

Same.

LemonJello

Wonka-vator suicide pact? Nope. Bullshit happy ending with a completely unqualified child now running the world’s largest diabetes provider.

Redshirt

Couldn’t find it, but SNL did a skit with Kevin Spacey as Wonka’s accountant calling him out on his all b.s.

“You have a whole river of chocolate that some brat nearly died in. How do you think that’s going to look to the investors?”

Accountant: “Here’s our yearly profits.”
(song starts – Oompa-Loompa’s appear)
Oompa-Loompas (singing): “Oompa-Loompa, doopadee-doo. I’ve got a budget report for—”
Accountant: “No, no, no. Don’t sing. just tell us.”
Oompa-Loompa: “You’re Oompa-Loompa-Screwed.”
Accountant: “You hear that? Oompa-Loompa-Screwed.”

Redshirt

(looks up; notices the whole Clubhouse is out walking GoT Finale)

“Well I’m by myself. I guess there’s only one thing I have to do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2UVsyVLLcE

Redshirt

No, but I’m glad that happened. So is WWE because they’ll continue to get my money every month.

yeah right

As Low Commander alluded to earlier, prior to the start of season 6 Game of Thrones was in the discussion for greatest show ever. Their production values remain insane but my opinion says it’s still The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad and The Leftovers.
You can throw Better Call Saul and Fargo in that discussion and you won’t get an argument out of me.

Also, whenever fat ass decides to finish the books I will go on record and say the ending will be entirely different.

Gratliff

For the more anime-oriented among us, the best analogy I’ve seen so far was Full Metal Alchemist. They finished the anime before the manga had a finish and it went completely off the rails by the end, and the second half of the manga was so good that they had to completely remake the series to match the quality. Of course, no show will ever have the budget of GoT again, so that probably won’t happen.

Unsurprised

I hope GRRM never finishes them.

Horatio Cornblower

So does he. You might see ‘Winds of Winter’ but my guess is you’ll see me Pope before you see the end of that series.

Gratliff

So uh westworld’s taking a turn

yeah right

Deloris!

Unsurprised

That spelling hurts me

LemonJello

Bukkake themed Wonka-mobile ride is next on the agenda.

Wonka invented Pym particles long before the original Ant-Man.

theeWeeBabySeamus

You GoT people frighten me.
When does The Walking Dead start back up?

T-2 minutes until the internet goes bugshit nuts melts the fuck down no matter how the tits-n-dragons show ends.

And I am here for it. See you all at 10:23.

Mr. Ayo

Yeah, signing off until 10:23 pacific. Later taters.

yeah right

Same. See you on the other side.

Brick Meathook

The ultimate Brick Meathook Themed hotel just opened in New York City and it’s the hottest ticket in town. It’s the TWA Hotel at the former Idlewild Airport (now called JFK), and it incorporates the perfectly restored 1962 Eero Saarinen designed head house. There’s a Lockheed Constellation Super-G outside the windows that is now a bar, and every room has a rotary telephone, there’s even rotary payphones. I’m going to book a room there while it’s still new before it gets shabby (it’s so new right now that it isn’t completely finished).

Fifteen years ago I almost bought the TWA logo (featured everywhere in this hotel) because it was abandoned after the bankruptcy. All I had to do was re-register it with the USPTO for about $700 and use it in active commerce (I could have made a website that sold a TWA coffee mug with the logo and that would count). Alas, I didn’t.

herodotus450

Just don’t stay in room 800

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m totally staying there too. The only downside is having to go to New York.

Senor Weaselo

Yeah but you can hang with Ian, Nomonkeyfun, and me!

Senor Weaselo

My mom came home from JFK the night it opened. So it was a shitshow.

LemonJello

Not the alternate version where Charlie and Grandpa get chopped to worm food after drinking fizzy lifting drinks.

But that bitch Veruca is gonna get to take the express elevator to hell…

The Maestro

GOT series finale starts in 5 minutes. So fucking fired up to be so thoroughly disappointed. This is just like cheering for the New York Jets, I bet.

blaxabbath

I like how much nhl fans hate Gary bettman

ballsofsteelandfury

He was planted by David Stern to destroy the NHL and boost the NBA. No one can convince me otherwise.

King Hippo

I am only vaguely aware there was a John Wick 1. Teh culture has passed me by, and I is fine with it.

ballsofsteelandfury

You’ve been missing out.

Gratliff

This is what an overbearing fan who doesn’t realize how close he is to being murdered looks like. That is some smilin’ rage right there.

Redshirt

That’s not me.

When I met Ivory, I gave her the same handshake I gave Kurt Angle and Bradshaw. Probably because I naturally assumed if I gave her any signs of disrespect, either she would kill me or she’d ask Angle and Bradshaw to kill me for her.

Gratliff

I sometimes forget that Ivory is almost 60.

Unsurprised

Wow. Betty Glipin does look like her.

One nightmare fuel boat ride coming up, hang on you little crotch goblins!

Willy Wonka as a modern day retelling of Arthurian Legend but instead of tyranny the enemy is Communism; or Capitalism, not sure: my essay.

Redshirt

If I was a pilot I was SO do that monologue every time the plane hits turbulence.

OR

If I’m elected President, that my Inauguration Speech. Just that.

yeah right

Getting my final Game of Thrones psych on.
It’s been a hell of a ride.

Oh, watch Chernobyl.

King Hippo

Chernobyl is AWESOME. And Emily Watson is in it!

yeah right

It’s as intense as anything I’ve seen recently.
Good shit.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hendricks loses perfect game with 4 pitch walk.
That’s sad even though I don’t like the Cubs.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Still got the nono thotho.

theeWeeBabySeamus

When watching baseball, I do not like the little box they put on the screen graphics these days telling me where the strike zone should be.

It is distracting. And I know where the strike zone is. I have a rulebook and everything.

Mr. Ayo

I think it’s for the umps. Because they sure don’t know.

ArmedandHammered

Unless a millenial has a graphic to focus their attention, they have no idea where to look.

LemonJello

Those golden ticket winning little shits are about to have hell unleashed on them by one Willy Wonka.

Redshirt

I still don’t understand why Violet lost. She did nothing wrong. She tried a faulty product; that’s all she did.

She didn’t nearly drown in a chocolate river.
She didn’t have a musical number about wanting a golden goose.
She didn’t get herself shrunk.
She didn’t stole fizzy drink and touch a wall that now needs to be sterilized.

Violet should’ve won the factory. Not that poor ass kid.

Unsurprised

Willy Wonka doesn’t care about women.

LemonJello

You just know there are some Oompa-Loompa bodies buried in that factory before they could blow the whistle to OSHA.

A democrat wrote the script – D. Trump

Unsurprised

So, last night was a rousing success for tWBS?

Mr. Ayo

Sounds more like it just wasn’t the raging tire fire RTD predicted. Although there’s still time.

Unsurprised

So I guess that just makes it a success for us, the viewing public.

theeWeeBabySeamus

OH COME ON MAN!!!!! IS MY PAIN AND SCREWING UP REALLY THAT FUN FOR YOU FOLKS?

/remembers who he’s talking to
//yeah tough but fair

LemonJello

A slow burning tire fire instead of a dumpster fire?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, probably so.

theeWeeBabySeamus

While I would not use the word “rousing” by any means, I would also not use “tire fire”. RTD can suck it.

We’re having dinner again tonight.

Redshirt

If you’re having dinner a 2nd time, that means she enjoys your company. I’m calling that a win.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Or maybe she just can’t afford food.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wait, when did I call it a tire fire? All I did was imply that his kidneys had been stolen.

Unsurprised

That’s just good, wholesome fun.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Now that you mention it, I have’t peed today and have been a bit nauseous.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Raptors up by 11! I haven’t see a group of dinosaurs who work in service of a foreign power seize control like that since the 2016 elections.

ballsofsteelandfury

Instead of GoT, everyone should watch Game of Bones tonight.

rockingdog

found a funny:
The only Game of Thrones I will formally recognize is musical chairs.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I feel like Game of Thrones would be a good fraternity hazing ritual involving a bus station bathroom somehow.

Redshirt

Someone including toilets and saran wrap.

herodotus450

Apparently San JOse also forgot that the game was this afternoon, sincn they got shellacked 5-0

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I haven’t seen a group of Sharks get 5-0’d like that since that ill-conceived adaptation of the Laurents musical: North Shore Story.

Unsurprised

I don’t want to go out to watch the GoT finale at a bar. Or watch it at all.

Anyway, I just scanned a ton of handwritten notes I’ve made over the last few months in a feeble attempt at journaling or reflection or something. So I’ve got that going for me. Now to see what’s worth keeping.

Unsurprised

113 pages

Mr. Ayo

That’s a lot of [DFO] blog posts.

ballsofsteelandfury

I saw John Wick 3 in a fancy Dolby cinema with a fully reclining chair. Totally worth the $14 I paid for a matinee.

LemonJello

Body count?**

**the movie, not the theater parking lot.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

With Balls it’s more of a booty count.

Welp, time for “Money in the Bank”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex7xsCFI_c8

theeWeeBabySeamus

Didn’t realize the open thread was up, so I’ll ask here too.
The local news is showing a thing about Game of Thrones.
I have never watch Game of Thrones.
Is it worth a binge? And by binge, of course I mean get drunk and watch episode one over and over because I nod off and can’t remember.

Mr. Ayo

No. Read the books instead.

litre_cola

I have heard that as well.

ALXMAC

If you’re into food porn you should read Sunday Gravy with Yeah Right instead of Game of Thrones.

ballsofsteelandfury

But do the books have boobs and swinging dicks?

herodotus450

More.

theeWeeBabySeamus

But it’s harder to drink and smoke weed while reading.
Have you just met me????????

theeWeeBabySeamus

You, with your fancy book learning.

Mr. Ayo

I love drinking while reading.

Actually, I can’t think of anything I don’t enjoy while drinking. That seems normal.

Redshirt

I’m probably the only person on Earth whose ending they were focused on was “Star vs. the Forces of Evil”.

yeah right

I mentioned on the other post but,
Graphic violence, graphic nudity and graphic language with an incredible group of actors.

Anything I’m missing?

The books were great and it was really fun having fore knowledge while watching the show with people who didn’t read. Apart from them hitting pause and asking me “Who the fuck is that again?”
