The first week is over and boy-howdy am I ready for some hard drinking. I so far have registered 30 at-risk students in my program. That’s more than double last year’s first-week total, and is already close to the point where I will have to close registration because I don’t have enough room or materials for beyond 40 kids.
Also, I may have to learn Tagalog, given how many Filipinos I have in my program. Parents in the district are screaming for French immersion, but my risible French serves no useful purpose when my classroom sounds like the back alley of a Manila Jollibee.
So, I’m spending this evening with my wife, my dogs, and a bottle of the good scotch from last summer. FOR TOMORROW I FOOTBALL! Three hours down the road is the Seahawks home opener, and I will be there sucking every last drop of fun from my weekend, $5 at a time. Hopefully, if I can keep it between the ditches on the drive home, I have some good pictures to show you during the week.

CBS SINGLE
█ Fairbanks
█ Honolulu
█ Tennessee @ Cleveland – Jim Nantz, Tony Romo
█ Kansas City @ Jacksonville – Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts
█ Buffalo @ NY Jets – Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon
█ Baltimore @ Miami – Andrew Catalon, James Lofton
█ Indianapolis @ LA Chargers (LATE) – Greg Gumbel, Trent Green
█ Cincinnati @ Seattle (LATE) – Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta
Really? Tennessee vs. Cleveland gets the CBS A-team? Holy hell are they already in the hole hard for the Browns to make something of themselves.
Meanwhile, the Colts would be better off starting Trent Green.
FOX EARLY
█ Atlanta @ Minnesota – Thom Brennaman, Chris Spielman
█ LA Rams @ Carolina – Chris Myers, Daryl Johnston
█ NO GAME due to blackout enforced by home team on CBS
Can’t argue with much here. Each game looks solid, and has solid announce teams.
FOX LATE
█ Fairbanks
█ Honolulu
█ NY Giants @ Dallas – Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
█ San Francisco @ Tampa Bay – Kenny Albert, Ronde Barber
█ Detroit @ Arizona – Dick Stockton, Mark Schlereth
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME SHILLIN’?! The over/under on Troy referencing Emmitt Smith’s holdout is 7.5. The rest of these games are dogshit, but at least listening to Ronde Barber snicker every time Jameis gets hit will be worth it.

T-2.5 hours until liftoff!
Holy fuck this wedding is finally over.
I swear to God, I will Never understand why anyone thought having an outdoor wedding in Charlotte, on a golf course was a good idea.
I’m supposed to continue drinking, but I am so damn exhausted and dehydrated….
Also, at the wedding reception, for reasons I do not understand, a husband and wife sat on either side of me. Both were vegans, and the husband is an incredibly annoying financial lawyer and the wife has blue fucking hair. I kept offering to switch seats so they would stop talking with me in between.
I think I told them each five times that I don’t speak polish and please for the love of God, stop asking me what the Polish people at the table were saying.
Fuck it… I’m going to sleep…
Was the wife in Stinkoman 20X6?
Should have had a keilbasa drop.
You should have told them that you DO speak a little Polish and it seems the Poles were talking about the couple and how ugly the wife was and all sorts of stuff like that
“He…he said the bride’s a pig! Don’t get mad at me, man, he said it!”
Cal vs Huskies or USC vs Stanford?
I’m gonna start with Huskies.
extra bonus the Huskie game is in 4k
ESS EEE SEE ESS EEE SEE
Losing just means more.
It just means there are more asshole fans of these teams.
BUSH PUSH!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Love > Tea Bags
Got blaxito at the local park concert. Rode him over in the Burley, the band stinks, but the food trucks are good and have beer that’s *only* $5. So all in all, not bad.
looks like a nice night.
Well, so long as no MAGAShooters show up and start thinking all these Asian gals (many being very hot) are Mexican.
That’s very nice lighting.
dagnabbit, now I want the strip club
Tennessee ekes our an answer.
approaching bananacakes?
In range. Need at least 3 OTs.
agreed. Or a double-donk
pancakes does sound good tomorrow morning
I wonder if either Vols deep safety is related to Rahim Moore?
Tennessee in BIG trouble here
when you are getting beat in the trenches by Big Love?? YIKES
nice play calling for Big Love
Tough spot for tea baggers now.
The slant is always open!
apologies to Coach Parcells
BYU-Tenn apparently in a kicker battle between Oldroyd and Cimaglia. You can clear either of those up right quick with some antibiotics.
over the crossbar by a gnat’s pube!
/but if this goes into enough OT, won’t they have to forfeit at midnight??
Yeshiva vs. BYU. WHO YA GOT? On Monday, because dueling Sabbaths.
Texas has an Olineman named Shackleford. If his first name isn’t Rusty, by god, I say we give the whole dang state back to Mexico.
POCKET SAND!
So did anyone see if JD Martinez grabbed some lady’s boobs while going for a ball?
HOLY SHIT BIG LOVE
too bad that receiver had no wheels
I mean, he’s black, but still like Mormon black
I do appreciate how courtesan-ish UT-Austin’s cheerleaders are.
I’ll watch the last minute of Big Love in Tenn
Big Love needs some AMAZING gold plate shenanigans now
Prayers answered
that’ll show them apostates
LSU receiver got wrecked. that shit looked like it HURT

Pac 12 insanity!

Miami UNC is close. And Auburn appears to be strug-a-ling with Tulane
but U*NC could still win, so fuck that noise
end of Vols/Team Big Love (Original Recipe)
This “chasing your dreams” thing is treacly shit. On the other hand, I don’t wanna die before dating a nurse. Or health technician, for the equipment jokes.
Having dated a nurse, I can tell you it’s worth it just for the stories/jokes. It’s tough, though. That’s a rough job/ lifestyle.
Yum
Okay, so in five days I’m driving from Salt Lick to Colorado Springs to meet/hang out with a possible new Duchess for the first time. I’ve known her online for a decade, and have been giving her golf lessons via video clip for the last three years. Right after that godawful breakup I had with the previous Duchess last Spring, Colorado girl started messaging me out of the blue saying that now that her divorce was final, she wanted to come to Utah to play golf and “hang out.” We started trading messages back and forth when I was back in Florida for PGA school a couple months ago, and we’ve either messaged or talked every day since. She hasn’t been able to make it out this way yet, but I thought the Bears v. Donks game next week would be a good excuse to head over that way for a visit. I’m giving her an actual in-person lesson and then we’re playing golf a couple times and going to the game. I kinda feel like there’s something there developing.
At the same time, I’m nervous as shit. I’ve never in my life done anything remotely like this before. 400 miles seems like a long way to drive for a first date or three.
Am I gonna wake up in a motel bathtub full of ice, missing a kidney?
And you’re SURE you’re not being Catfished?
Are you sure he’s not tWBS?
I’m kinda hoping he weighs in.
Why does everyone massively upvote every comment which makes fun of me?
Oh yeah, I forgot….carry on.
99.9% sure. We’ve FaceTimed several times and her socials seem to check out.
But that .1% chance is living in the back of my brain, man.
Get in the hole!
You’ll be fine.
Just remember to pull out the 3 Wood, not the putter…
Only if you run into the Scooby Gang.
That sounds like great news. She seems into you. Hope you have a wonderful time.
Good luck. I’m rooting for you seriously. You’ve got a good heart. Just don’t get your dick stepped on because of that.
yeah, good on you not giving up on love
Thanks, pal.
I thought Duchess was married? Or at the least had kids. Or kid.
Good luck man. Any contacts in Colorado Springs for backup? Just in case?
Gotta have a wing man.
Two of my old junior college golf teammates live in Denver.
Give em a call. Worst case you get to hang out with them again.
Already done. We’re going out on kind of a double date with them and their wives Friday night.
Speaking of Tequila – is tres amigos worth the extra cost?
NTTAWWT
No tequila is worth the extra cost unless you’re sipping it like a brandy.
Ladies and gentlemen, the role of Moose tonight will be played by Spur.
I love that the the new LSU offense involved making sure the players could read a playbook.
Or just read in general.
You guys trust Ed Orgeron with a lead?
JVGUMBOJVGUMBOJVGUMBO
speaking of, Les Miles losing to Coastal Carolina, Q4
Good News, the lawn has been mowed all chores, trips, to-dos are done. I have a kitchen full of food and enough liquor on hand to kill a small size Asian family. Am ready to do jack shit but watch football for the next 32 hours.
I may shower, havent decided yet.
I just showered.
For some wonderful reason my espn stream is still on the stadium halftime show (terrible by the way, you can totally mess with Texas on this one) instead of whatever brain dead halftime show the rest of you chumps are stuck with.
Crap it just switched over.
You jinxed it
Stumptown looks otherworldly stoopid.
I need a hobby. There’s no other reason to even acknowledge the Internet except DFO, but I have also apparently forgotten how to read whenever I try to read ebooks. A reasonable man would use this as an excuse to get off my ass and workout or do something to lose weight, at least. Maybe socialize. Anyway.
nah, just go back to actual paper books. I’m glad to ship ya some.
I should. I’ve just been trying to utilize the larger … library … available through my library.
Dude, I’ve got years of reading entertainment for you.
Reading is even more important than cooking in my brain.
And I think you know how much that means from this guy.
Life starts by continuing to feed your brain.
OK, here we go. There is no one with whom I have shared this recipe that has not totally flipped out about it and started mainlining it. It is totally fungible, I have never even tried adding normal tequila adjuncts like Grand Marnier or Triple Sec to this recipe, and I encourage experimentation, please report your findings. I learned this in Mexico at a Roger Clyne concert at Rocky Point/Puerto Penasco a few years back. The original recipe I learned was:
12 oz cheap-ass tequila
12 oz Mexican beer (I use Modelo, but I am sure that Corona, Sol, Pacifico etc. will work just fine. Shit, my dad makes them with AB Natural Light).
12 oz 7-Up
12 oz lime-aide juice concentrate
over the years I have tailored the recipe to my taste, and here’s what it looks like now when I prepare it:
12 oz cheap-ass tequila
12 oz Mexican beer
12 oz club soda (7-Up too fucking sweet)
6 oz lime-aide juice concentrate (12 oz too much)
Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
OK, seriously….I cannot believe Balls hasn’t shown up.
Sucking ass.
Cheap ass tequila.
Mexican beer.
That probably describes his afternoon.
TOTES SAD at the collapse of Westwood Klavern
Oh, I know they suck. No sadness here.
I’m here. And I’ll be making this!
i do love me some modelo negra
At least Sparty ain’t fucked up.
…..yet
I think the Nasser case gave them a surplus of fuck ups to last the next 100 years.
