Your “All Hail The Queen” Sunday Evening Open Thread

Bow down to your new goddess, and new Democratic frontrunner for the nomination.

Well, that was a fair result for the Americans. Even as a Canadian who wanted them to lose, you couldn’t deny that the US team was a buzzsaw. Now all that awaits is Dekker from the Dutch team complaining that the tournament officials are corrupt & that the whole thing is rigged for the Americans.

In case you didn’t see it, Bleacher Report tweeted (since deleted) a picture of them attempting to place the women’s team among the pantheon of American icons.

It’s immediately terrible because there’s no Dream Team, but there is Iron Man. Also, it only includes 2/3 of the actual women’s team, and of the 50 people included behind them more than half are men and/or fictional.

NICE JORB!

Why is the banner photo a picture of David Bowie?

I slept all day and I have to work all night in my home studio (for a Netflix show about drag queens) but you know what I’m gonna do first? I’m bringing a New York strip steak up to room temperature and then I’m going to sear it in my 1920 Griswold 9-inch cast iron skillet (that’s old iron, composed mainly of hematite ore) and then finish it in a 425°F oven. Then I’ll remove it and tent it; while it’s resting, I’ll fry up two eggs in my “eggs only” 8-inch Zwilling non-stick pan, in butter. Oh, and the steak will be cooked with diced onions, mushrooms, and peppers.

This is one of those posts that requires a follow-up

Brick Meathook

And diced tomatoes, I forgot those.

Horatio Cornblower

Man that’s gay.

Brick Meathook

It’s super gay.

yeah right

This is always a special moment: finally catch up with one of your true friends from high school, what like 40 years later and his first shared Facebook post mentions christianity and communion.

Oh God dammit!

ballsofsteelandfury

This is why Facebook sucks.

Brick Meathook

Does he like Christianity or does he hate it?

Also, was that “communion” or “communism”?

Horatio Cornblower

I caught up with my old college roommate after 20+ years. He was a total hound with the women and now he has two daughters under 13.

I laughed myself into a hernia.

There’s some dumb motherfuckers just destroying chicken fried steak on the cooking channel and it’s a little sad.

It ain’t that hoard peoples.

Horatio Cornblower

Worcester MA public access channel, (it’s between all the sports channels for some reason and it is hilarious), is showing a tummy tuck paid promotion show and it’s clear that the before and after pictures are just someone telling the model to stand up straight and suck it in while taking both photos within 4 minutes of each other.

yeah right

Same swim suit?

Horatio Cornblower

Oh far, far worse.

yeah right

Damn.

yeah right

The fact that we made chili relleno should have been a clue.

Horatio Cornblower

A clue, you say?

VASTLY underrated movie

There’s quite a few homo-sexuals in that cast as well, which is very good. They love that theatre shit.

That’s bullshit.

I’m awake! I’m still trying to figure out what the fuck’s going on. I actually slept all day, and I highly recommend it.

So Stephen Miller didn’t make it?

Dope. ESPN will air the first NSWL game next week. Portland Thorn v Orlando Pride. Here in Portland at noon PST.

Oh man. Providence Park is going to be fucking wild.

Brick Meathook

Is the Orlando Pride a gay team? I have no idea what NSWL is.

National Women’s Soccer League. The WNBA of the MLS only better than the men. But yeah the Pride is named for that.

//argues vociferously that it be located in Boston

Brick Meathook

Are you serious? A womens’ soccer team is named for being gay? This pride shit is getting out of hand.

Horatio Cornblower

The fuck?

Brick Meathook

The fuck what? The team being gay or me pointing it out?

Horatio Cornblower

“This pride shit is getting out of hand.”

Seriously? Look, if I’m missing the sarcasm let me know. I’ve had a couple and reading through the pissing match below may have thrown me.

Brick Meathook

It was both. I only go for the comedy; I have no beliefs whatsoever. However, this pride shit is getting out of hand. Being a homosexual is nothing to be proud of, any more than I should be proud for being normal. Also you’re drunk. But then again, I just woke up. Do you see the light, grasshopper? Did you ever watch Kung Fu? I don’t think I would have watched it if the Chinaman had been played by a gook. David Carradine choked to death while jerking off.

Hey it’s all about the funny. You’re being very sensitive.

Horatio Cornblower

You’re calling me sensitive when you got upset about the gays getting, out of all pro sports, TWO*teams named for them!?

*The second, of course, being the Calgary Flames

Brick Meathook

I didn’t get upset. I just thought it was faggy, that’s all. Don’t forget the Cowboys and the Rams.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s the not bankrupt women’s soccer league. There’s a not bankrupt hockey one too!

Leaving an Arriola uncovered like that should be illegal.

Is there a better excuse for America not being good at soccer than, “well, we have to give the rest of the world something to beat us at”?

Unsurprised

Yeah, just soccer. Not happiness, height, life expectancy, overall health and well being, per capita income, and all the other things that the U.S. is actually shit at.

Horatio Cornblower

“The only thing holding us back on height are all those tiny illegal immigrants!”
-Probably a direct quote from Twitter

herodotus450

Frankly, if this is Mexico’s idea of defense, then I’m not sure they should have anything do to with the wall.

Once again I’m going to recommend watching NWSL whenever ESPN starts airing their games.

Always wanted to see these guys live. They used to play the El Rey in LA regularly, but it never timed out right.

It appears Balls and I scared everyone off, LOL.
Relax, we’ll be fine. Start commenting again please.

True story….I’ve met ‎Art Alexakis‎ twice. Pretty cool guy.

Balls never scared me off, even that time out behind the Arby’s dumpster, when I was not expecting a pair that big on someone with tits like that.

Maybe I should focus on younger women. I already burned all my compliments for those my age, badly. My last interaction ended with “You have beautiful skin. Who’s your embalmer?”

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL. Funeral Directors get all dat ass.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hopefully Balls won’t find that offensive to Funeral Directors.
Or corpses.

It’s a good thing Hope Solo isn’t still on the team. If she went to the White (raycess btw) House she’d probably get into a fist fight with trump, they’d end up sleeping together in the Lincoln Bedroom in between the chicken nugget and apple pie courses, and then she’d be his running mate in 2020.

For some reason, “Ghostbusters” is on AMC right now.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..

Sigourney Weaver is not an attractive woman, not a good actress, and should immediately be placed in a prison camp.

Weaver was great on Baby Mama as the butt of ageist jokes.
“Your eggs are from the ‘40s”

theeWeeBabySeamus

Did they show her penis?

ballsofsteelandfury

Dude, that’s not cool.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Seriously? It’s not like I just said it to her.
We’re all losing our sense of humour around here.
Myself included, I suppose.

I apologize.

theeWeeBabySeamus

No wait…. YOU bring up anal sex at every opportunity. And yet you’re going to call me out for saying THAT?

ballsofsteelandfury

You don’t think calling a woman ugly and saying she has a penis is bad?

theeWeeBabySeamus

You do remember the types of jokes we make on this site, yes?

I don’t know what your problem with me is lately, but I would respectfully ask that you get over it. And really fast. Please?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

It’s cool; it was a strapon.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That is most likely a sign of a man who is intimidated by strong women. A man who needs a weak woman to make them feel masculine. Not in every case of course, but in a majority, there’s definitely something there.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I really hope you meant that as a joke.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

To each their own I suppose; she was great and attractive as Ripley.

Don T
yeah right

That is fucking glorious.

Don T

In sum, someone who replies “?” to a request for a date probably means
YOU CAME OUT TOO STRONG

On the bright side, I don’t have to shave tomorrow AM. And a drink is being had.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LOL

Don T

Mah game needs work. still gotta find the sweet spot between “Hey baby” self-assurance and drooling obsequiousness.

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMFAO

ballsofsteelandfury

Wait, so that’s NOT a “Yes, bring lube”?

Don T

Well maybe I misread the DTF nuance of “?”. There’s a heart there fer Chrissakes! WHERE’S THE FILTH!!1!1!1

ballsofsteelandfury

After the anal, of course.
