Wednesday Motivational – Part 2

FAIL BIG.

Don’t be afraid to fail big.

If you’re not failing, you’re not trying.

Nothing in life is worthwhile, unless you take risks.

You will fail at some point in your life.  Accept it.  You will lose.  You will embarrass yourself.  You will suck at something.

But Fall Forward.

You’ll get there.

Gimme dat gently used fleshlight!

“After learning that the U.S. soccer team lost to The Netherlands in the World Cup final, the president has announced (via twitter) that heavy tariffs will be applied to all dikes imported from “that country“.

-Reuters News, Sunday, July 7th

King Hippo

get 2 consarnit, 2-1 Sverge was my fleshlight pool predicion

litre_cola

I had 1 nil sexy tall people. Need this to hold!

King Hippo

unlike me, you is still in Gently Used Fleshlight Contention – good on youse, imaginary buddy-guy

scotchnaut

Oh my… I dated someone with that exact phonetically-pronounced name.

King Hippo

srsly. Hey Elin, I am available for consolation duty. Look at this, she likes DUDES and I am not even a full 20 years her senior!!

When I said I wanted to spend some extra time with some Swedish and Dutch women this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.

scotchnaut

Picky, picky…

nomonkeyfun

At least you didn’t accidentally wind up spending more time with these women.

Teh Dutch tried to hurt my pretend boo (#23), they’s ded to Hippo.

King Hippo

All my life problems have related to striving, wanting more. Likely most of us would be better off finding acceptance, like I am edging towards during my recluse period (which will last until death).

scotchnaut

My father worked/strived to get what he wanted and couldn’t turn it off once he got it. He died less than a year after he retired. Once I knew what I actually wanted I worked like a bastard for a twenty year period and have now laid back (relatively speaking) for the last two years or so. I’ll be doing less and less each year so I can transition easily into retirement.

King Hippo

oh, I will gladly retire. Was lucky not to inherit my dad’s workaholic tendencies. My striving is almost exclusively tied to women, though I have also on occasion tried to gain more professional respect (and/or a new job). Both are absolute ded ends.

“Because there are cameras, goddamnit. How many times do we have to tell you this?” – Chiefs management, circa 2017

The Dutch keeper reminds me of Anna Konkle from PEN15.

“Penis?”

-B. Cole

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THESE TEAMS I CALL BOTH OF THEM CODY PARKEY CAUSE THEY KEEP HITTING THE GODDAMNED POSTS.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Instead of letting either of these teams play in the WWC final it should just be an U.S. – England rematch.

The Netherlands (also known as 4 Non-Blondes) exerting a wee bit of pressure here.

This is great motivation to a guy spending his afternoon on a ladder. Thanks.

I’d have commented on this game if anything had actually happened. This game is so dull that Ray Lewis himself couldn’t use it to kill somebody.

scotchnaut

Dutch player Beerensteyn is making me thirsty.

Game Time Decision

She’s a real bear.

Unsurprised

I’m almost forty and I still haven’t learned that lesson. I’ve failed up or at least sideways my whole life.

Anyway, I think I’m finally making progress irl. I just need to stay offline because any time I read any social media except my cats on IG I start to hate everything again.

“Caroline Seger is #likearock in the Swedish midfield! Get it, huh?”

-Chevy’s twitter account

scotchnaut

This women’s World Cup has inspired a entire generation of young girls to stand in front of adult women while a national anthem is being played.

“But it was SO wrong when I did it with boys?”

-J. Sandusky

This game has an “orange vs. banana” feel to it.

Umm, I don’t want to tell you how to live your life but I’d suggest unplugging that toilet today rather than waiting until tomorrow.

Tomorrow, you’re gonna catch that beer!

The soccer ladies are on in 20 minutes. I’m gonna #CREEPBIG!

SonOfSpam

Rooting for the Dutch; not only is it part of my ancestry, but I watched The Girl With The Pearl Necklace and it really spoke to me.

scotchnaut

Oh, you! [puts hands on waist, shakes head side to side]

ballsofsteelandfury

If that doesn’t exist, I’ll be extremely disappointed in the porn industry.

SonOfSpam

I mean, it HAS to, right? If not, get Brick to find a backer and LET’S DO THIS.

ballsofsteelandfury

ON IT!

SonOfSpam

Ok, first, instead of Vermeer, the painter is VerMeat.

And instead of oil, he paints in splooge.

Now we just need a central conflict and a denouement.

ballsofsteelandfury

Central conflict: Who will get to be the “canvas”? Jealousy and rage abound underneath a message about class struggle.

The denouement writes itself. 20 minutes later, there’s an Epilogue.

SonOfSpam

Got it…Kurosawa meets Fellini.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It appears to be a smutty book.

ballsofsteelandfury

I don’t agree with this at all. There’s this sentiment (it seems to be particularly American) that if you’re not living large, you’re not really living at all. That’s horseshit. Many people throughout the world are living small lives, and are very happy doing so. I’m one of them.

scotchnaut

“Hear, hear!”

-Brett Favre

SonOfSpam

Looks like SOMEONE didn’t go into heavy debt to buy a Patek Philippe.

What a cuck.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s beta cuck to you, sir.

BC Dick

Very much in agreement. A life uncluttered by ceaseless straining to be ever more, ever richer, ever “better” is my idea of a good one for me. A large life is good for others if they want it. Not to mention most of the time the “go big” sentiment is from those who’ve gone big and succeeded, not from the guy sucking toes for nickels in an alley because he took too many risks and lost it all.

Mr. Ayo

I’m totally killing it, but thanks!

ballsofsteelandfury

THIS MAN has a gently-used Fleshlight coming to him!

Listen to him!
