As I repeat every Victoria Day:
Under Canadian law, the date is reserved in anniversary of the birth of the monarch. A national commemoration dating from the time of Queen Victoria, an amendment to the Statutes of Canada in 1952 established the celebration of Victoria Day on the Monday preceding May 25. It was renamed Journée nationale des patriotes in Quebec in 2002, commemorating the struggle of Louis-David Papineau and his patriotes to establish “Responsible Government” in Lower Canada.
Whatever – it’s the unofficial start of summer in Canada, meaning it’s officially tolerable to talk about fucking off to a cabin/lake/golf resort on weekends and not feel like an elitist dick. After Labour Day, you’re a snob again.
NFL News:
- The [Redacteds] are off to a cursed start to their OTAs, as Reuben Foster got himself a knee injury minutes into the first activity.
- Foster was claimed off waivers after the Niners released him following domestic violence charges. The charges were later dropped because of witness non-cooperation.
- If he had started the season, he was not suspended but was fined two game cheques.

- Proving white QBs can catch breaks, the Colts have signed Jim Kelly’s nephew Chad Kelly.
- He will compete with Jacoby Brissett to be Andrew Luck’s clipboard holder.
- A sure coincidence is that Colts head coach Frank Reich was Jim Kelly’s teammate back in Buffalo.
- Florida prosecutors were in court appealing against suppression of video evidence in the Robert Kraft case.
- To quote ESPN, “Kraft’s elite legal team argued successfully during a hearing earlier this month that police did not avoid recording legal activity inside the spa, and that Kraft and other clients had a right to expect privacy inside the facility.”
- If the appeals court upholds the suppression, it would end the case against Kraft and the other 24 defendants.
- Ezekiel Elliott got himself cuffed but not charged at a music festival in Las Vegas on the weekend.
- He shoved a security guard, but the incident was later called an “overreaction” by the security outfit.
- The League is allegedly looking into the matter.
- On a different note – a Dallas Cowboy wearing a LeBron James Lakers jersey? Zeke is this truck in human form.
- He shoved a security guard, but the incident was later called an “overreaction” by the security outfit.

My softball team was destroyed tonight and eliminated from the playoffs. It’s like January came early.
The Padres are back to .500 and now it’s time for scotch and 60 Minutes and yes I do feel very old for my age.
Quick question for our Portland contingent: when you first move to Portland and sign your mortgage paper, or rental agreement, are you automatically gifted a puffy jacket, tattoo and a plaid flannel shirt?
I had the puffy jacket and plaid flannel jacket from when I lived in Salem. No tattoo, though.
Will accept but step up your tattoo game son!
I’m good. There’s nothing I care about enough that I’d etch a symbol of it on my skin. I don’t even like wearing watches.
I guess you could say instead of tattoos I just have a lot of extra weight. That’s the expression of who I am.
Now while I do sport a sizable number of tattoos I share your sentiment on “bling.” I wear no watch or any jewelry. I have no intention of making myself a target.
I have no tattoos but a kick-ass collection of watches!
You forgot to ask, “Goatee or Van Dyke?”
No joke, I just booked a hotel for a work trip to Portland and there was a “tattoo package” offering
We suck
At least there’s lots of beer and a cannabis delivery service.
Was going to be working out tonight and then someone pointed out that Twitch has a free karaoke game that I fell into and apparently that was 4 hours ago. Anyway, that reminds me of another guilty pleasure track from high school: Robbie Williams’ version of Angels. And now I’m mad all over again at Jessica Simpson’s terrible cover of it.

I hope ML smashes.
It’s like “Eh, we’re bored” and then GS stomps whoever.
I think it hit Klay’s arm last as it rolled away.
I think it doesn’t matter. GS is winning this game.
Should be GS ball.
Maybe? Hard to say.
No, I’m wrong. Ir did graze his arm.
Portland: Dead meat.
I’m no fan of GS, but how was that not a foul?
David Stern demands a game 5
Yeah.
Adam Silver is apparently no longer taking his calls.
I didn’t quite eat both of the pork tenderloins, but I ate half of each one.
I need to show you how to make NC BBQ in the crock pot. Tenderloins ftw.
So…a quarter good hustle?
Xtra Baxsetballing!!!!!!
Curry with the Harden step back. lolol
I’d like a True Lies sequel, but this could be worth something. I doubt it, but maybe.

I feel so much pity for home crowds whose team builds a 17 point second half lead against the Warriors in a game the Warriors want to win.
This would hurt if I cared about the Blazers
Goddammit Ziggy.
He’s had a long, hard day at the power plant.
And now for nerdery. (Basically just for… Gratliff I think?)
Good news: Pent is finally in Fire Emblem Heroes!
Bad news: …As a seasonal groom unit. And still no Louise. AND STILL NO ANNA ALTS.
I don’t think I’ll ever get into Fire Emblem, but hey, I learned somethin’.
Also I was wrong, Louise is the “free” unit.
Is the crowd chanting “Meyer Lemon”?
We have had a rash of people leaving my company, starting with my boss’s boss last Friday, one of our main engineers today and another friend, who all gave 1 week notices, which I guess is a thing. I found out at the end of the day that my best friend there just got an offer too for a much better job, and while I am unbelievably happy for her, I am really going to miss seeing her everyday. Her boss is one of the worst people I’ve ever had the displeasure of knowing, and her department is capital FUCKED without my friend around and her counterpart leaving too, so that will be very entertaining to watch in the near future.
I am quite looking forward to her giving notice tomorrow. Artist’s conception:
Is tWBS the guy screaming at Camden Yards?
He will be on Wednesday. He might even get nekkid and streak across centerfield and get violently tackled. We’ll see how it goes.
Later that day on DFO when Seamus needs a lawyer:
God dammit.

Our refrigerator stopped running today, so tonight I am forced to grill up a pair of pork tenderloins.
“GOD DAMMIT!!!”
– prank callers who reach Rikki tonight
How far did it get? HI-YOHHHHHH!!!
/loud sustained audience laughter and applause
Evening gents. Just wanted to wish myself a feliz 24th wedding anniversary and tell all you single guys that there’s no hope for any of you since the last gullible woman has been off the market a while.
Hugs!
I think you’re getting the “most” gullible woman confused with the “last” gullible woman.
before the Jeopardy Groupie appeal wore off
Um….those exist????????????
“Hell yeah they do.” – Watson, surrounded by Japanese sex robots
Alex Trebek? That guy FUCKS, man
You know it.
Fair.
Going out. If I don’t return, avenge my death.
Also, this is good dancing. https://giant.gfycat.com/GrimConcreteFurseal.mp4
Do you think old conservatives get confused when they watch Red Dawn now that we’ve decided to be such good pals with Russia?
The remake of Red Dawn will have Californians invading The Bible Belt.
They probably get the weirdest* boners watching this movie.
*well, weirder than normal, I suppose
found a funny:
me: give that girl over there a drink on me. my usual
bartender: ok [hands her a drink]
her: *giving the glass of milk back to him* no
So Senorita Weaselo saw this on the ferry, and then it deflated and it looked like “a giant pink saggy used condom.” Her words.
http://gothamist.com/2019/05/20/flamingo_river_nyc.php
Astute. Accurate.
I mean, she apparently has seen giant used condoms before, so congratulations!
gooooo DUBS!!!!
Yes but as the Canadian 3 day weekend is coming to a close we have ours at the end of this week.
So much grillage.
That’s we how salute those killed in action. Cooking dead flesh.

Jesus fuck, JA Happ sucks.
Little known fact: J.A. stands for Just Awful.
Would you like a Werther’s Original caramel hard candy? There’s some in the bowl.
Help yourself.
Damn, they’re letting Darren Sharper get online in prison now?
Are we not going to talk about the values of Riesen caramel chews?
