See that last one? That means Christmas is coming!
He would.
He totally would.
I was sadly busy at work tonight, so just caught up on quotables. Some real contenders in there.
Totally agreed.
JFC. Why do I read any social media site? Why am I so fucking stupid?
Speaking of stupid, I walked home in the spitting rain and decided to detour for a snack when I was nearly home. Instead of dropping my stuff off and going to the store with a jacket on this time, I just went to the store, didn’t end up getting anything, and then walked home 0.4 miles in the pouring rain that appeared while I was inside.
So tomorrow is National Cheeseburger Day. If you want to get Andy Reid’s autograph, now’s your chance – he’ll be visiting every single one of these restaurants:

At every location. It’s like Santa going to every chimney!

So my bosses birthday is coming up, like this week.
He has a 1yr old son.
So I got him a copy of Someone Could Get Hurt by Drew Magary
This is a good idea for a present, right?
I guess it’s better than the boa constrictor I’d have suggested.
Found a funny:
BOSS: We need to improve morale
ME: Okay
BOSS: How about an office party?
ME: [crosses out “replace coworkers with puppies”] I guess
Tired. And fucking AFL tribunal banned Toby Greene for the prelim.
Will he be back in time for regionals?
Damn. That sucks.
The Aussies on the internet think it’s bullshit, even the ones that hate Toby.
And Coniglio is definitely out. I may need to change my tip…

Anyone happen to have the pic of Eli in water wings from the mother ship?

“So, who is this for?”
Holy shit
So i just saw this on a commerical during Smackdown!
Not saying its a lie, just saying we all know the truth
Apparently he’s a full-blown asshole that his NFL Films bio just barely managed to conceal.
Great hair though.
They should’ve reached out to his makeup team.
Brick Meathook’s day tomorrow…..?
I had to shoot her from 1000 yards away. She was armed and dangerous.
#GoodGuyWithAGun imo godbless
1,000 yards? That is some powerful sperm.
What, no mention of the NLL draft tonight? For shame
/ not watching it either, will read about it in 5 minutes tomorrow
// sets new record for being down voted
You’re welcome.
It wasn’t listed anywhere for broadcast. Therefore it was dead to me.
streaming only. Like lacrosse can afford to be broadcast on the regular teevee.
“THE BEN is done for the year”
Yes, that news has been shared on media, both local and social.
Can anybody suggest a good high-powered rifle/scope combination for hitting moving targets up to about 1000 yards away from an elevation of about 15 stories? Oh don’t worry I’m not gonna shoot at people, just cars.
The Stinger company is doing marvelous work these days, I’m told.
Back and to the left?
(yup still funny)
Hi, FBI!
Oh don’t worry I’m not gonna shoot at people, just cars

Well he’d be an easy target now. I mean, he’s not moving.
Ahem…

The Barrett 82 is the glock 9 of .50 cal AMRs
Found a reddit thread today about how much your boss is like Michael Scott from The Office. One of the responses was, “He would call us into his office and show us funny youtube videos from a few years ago”.
/I’ll give you one guess as to who invited an office clerk into his office to show her the “Can’t Hug All Cats” vid yesterday.
/Damn
Was it your boss?
That’s harmless. Some reddit boss stories are … not
I once recognized the top comment on a reddit thread as being from a coworker. It was relatively innocuous though.
The wackiest of all the wacky theories behind why Eli was pulled? John Mara and GM Gettleman were preserving his W/L record at 116 losses and 116 wins so that he wouldn’t retire as a losing qb. Wowza!
that’s…quite a way to run a professional sportsball organization
Eli doesn’t belong in the same room as these guys:
Dan Marino 258-155
Jim Kelly 177-110
Philip Rivers 221-124
Jay Cutler 155-75
etc etc etc
You can rattle off as many stats as you want but he’s going into the Hall just like Namath did because he went balls-out when it mattered and got the win. That’s just the way it goes with the voters that decide these things.
“Balls out” is also the reason that Peter King voted for Darren Sharper.
Ya see, none of those guys has a Super Bowl ring, yet alone two . . .
I still don’t get it. Maybe you should work on it in the second room. They’re not as judgmental.

The Dolphins are just amassing enough draft picks in the same year to answer the age old question: could Alabama beat the Browns?
“Could Alabama beat the Browns? Of course we could. We could beat them all day long and far into the night. And then we’d beat the Blacks, and then after that we’d beat the Yella’s. We’d beat everyone till we couldn’t raise our arms anymore. Uh, what was the question?”
