I’m not really good – good at at all, really – with themes. But fuck me, do I love this song. Let it take us into 21 September 2019:
NBCSN wants your ass up early with Foxes/Spurs at 7:30. It’s an interesting matchup, for sure. I will try to make it for the second half. City/Moose Hornets is the snuff film main course of the 10:00 window. Because NBC also wants you paying for Gold, eh?
My schizo Toffees take on Team Knifey in a must win at Goodison. Fuck me, was that an awful yeah right Derby. AWFUL. Burnley also Norwich on Gold. Meh.
Brighton and Newcastle is your non-Spotlight Dance (12:30, NBC). Who fookin’ wants to watch that over JV NFL?
Sunday brings a two-fisted double header. NBCSN carries Hammers/United at 9:00 (interesting!) followed by the Redshite at Chelsea (very interesting!) at 11:30. I am too sleepy to go into other Euro action, but Balls covered it on Thursday.
Litre_Cola’s Obscure team that Hippo (probably) bets on!
Team profile request line coming at you! We are heading back to Germany and looking at FC St. Pauli.
Tennessee (+14) at Florida (Noon, ESPN)
For the first time I can recall, this ain’t the 3:30 CBS matchup. And for good reason – the Vols is just turrrible. Not that the Gators are any great shakes. So much hideous orange.
Michigan (+3) at Wisconsin (Noon, Fox)
I keep forgetting whether Harbs the Lesser is still in Ann Arbor. Pretty sure it’s Alzheimer’s or just garden variety senility. I ain’t right in the head. Having to cheer for Bucky Badger is a strange feeling.
Michigan State (-8.5) at Northwestern (Noon, ABC)
Don’t go expecting touched downs, completed forward passes, or anything revolutionary like that. God, the B1G is ass.
Auburn (+4) at Texas A&M (3:30, CBS)
Second-best game of the day, as we see whether or not the SEC actually has a 4th legitimate team or not. I still lean not, but ask me again next week.
Washington (-6.5) at BYU (3:30, ABC/ESPN2)
Original Recipe Team Big Love are sure enough interesting, but this result will tell us if they’re actually any good.
Kentucky (+6.5) at Mississippi State (4:00, SECN)
I expect Blue Moon of Kenfucky to curl up and die after yet another pants-shitting against Florida last week. But the Cowbells really aren’t much account, either. Some reason, I expect this to entertain.
Oklahoma State (+7) at Texas (7:30, ABC)
Looks like Vegas expects/anticipates a possible paddlin’ down Austin-way. Both of these sides are hard to figure out.
Notre Dame (+14.5) at Georgia (8:00, CBS)
No typos, that really is the spread. More than 2 full TDs, against a public team. I can’t make sense of it.
UCLA (+18.5) at Washington State (10:30, ESPN)
Another week, the hole digs deeper around Westwood Klavern. Really not sure Wazzu is that good, though Dread Pirate Mike Leach would no doubt enjoy running up the score.
Bring back Brady Hoke
:clap: :clap:
We need to seriously consider a DFO roadtrip to Hamburg.
That’s gonna be… tough, for most of us.
Not if we use 80% lean, 20% fat beef, grind it ourselves and follow Yeah Right’s simple instru…whaddya mean we’re not making burgers?
Can we go to Cheddar, Somerset first?
Wisconsin still hasn’t given up a point all season.
This is a completely pointless comment. smgdh
This is beauty work right here
Of course Wiscy has a stolid white fullback that steals scores from the star rb.
Please tell me his name is something like “Tolkien”
Hey, guys! What’s the score of the Michigan gaAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHJ. Anyone got a towel?
I grew up watching Ohio State and Michigan whip the shit out of everyone else in The Big Ten. This is lovely.
Watching Elon/Wake Forest. Why? Because I can.
count of the interesting and/or competitive fixtures in the noon window:
ZERO
Having just scored his 2nd TD, Wiscy qb Jack Coan doesn’t have to imagine the sound of two hands clapping.
Commentist Survey: Which chain makes the best chicken wings?
Burger King.
Chain wise I’ve only tried Wing Stop and they were solid.
Costco.
Morning. Looks like i tuned in at the right time to see the public execution of the Wolverines
Things are ok in the world!
Kinda figures. The team injury report listed most players as ‘claws retracted’.
Fuck lesser footy, how about that Aussie footy WOOOOOOOOOOO!
Like your first gf, who cares if it’s ugly as long as it comes out right in the end (or in the front, I guess). Go Giants WOOOOOOOOO!
Can’t hear you with my tipping belt wrapped around my neck.
/enter Brick’s asphyxiation meme
I changed my tip but worth it!
Legit i was watching what you were saying. I was going to tip your side just to guarantee my win.
Boooooooooo
Huge fan of Johnathan Taylor-he did his job and is now hiding away from everyone. He gets me, he really gets me.
I mean, it wasn’t getting better after Lion King, right?
Rikki, little help, do I get this reference?

I’m in love…
Litre and Mrs. Cola weekend continues. We are supposed to go to the games portion of the engagement weekend. Fuck that, we are going to a brewery for lunch, come back to the room, drink wine, not make babies but do the process, drink more wine then head to the party.
Solid day IMO.
Or, y’know, you can drop all this boring shit and just stay in and conduct a scientific experiment in how many times you can “do the process” before developing friction burns in all kinds of odd places :p
I want her to be able to go to the party. We will break our day up by lounging in the hot tub in the mtns here. Been a fantastic 24 hours so far. I have had wine in my hand for 80% of the time. That percentage will only go down at the brewery but will keep up my morning drinking BECAUSE I CAN.
Live the dream my friend.
Well, everyone here can probably guess my recommendation…
Watch a French docu series in subtitles?
FRENCH subtitles!
So you can learn the language better.
I could just read to her. Would be like role playing but way worse.
One thing that I particularly love about the 2013 Chevy Volt that we recently purchased that every time I’ve charged it since we got it, the battery range has gone up. It started at 37, I think, then has gone to 39, 40, 41, and today it’s at 42.
Wait, you bought a used electric vehicle?!?
I knew you had a set of balls, but damn! That’s one purchase I wouldn’t dream of making. I’d be too worried about the battery not being any good or something else going wrong.
Thanks for giving me something to freak out about; really appreciate it.
I heard that model tends to spontaneously combust in temps over 70 degrees. I’m sure yours won’t but still…
Or, y’know, buying a 0th-generation of a product that’s basically emulating computing by having generational leaps in quality and performance every couple of years… That said, I am reeeeeeeally curious on the actual health of the battery pack…
Wowza! Johnathan Taylor has 143 yards rushing and the 1st quarter isn’t over yet.
“Man, I sure wish I could have blocked for that guy. We could have had a really cool nickname, like ‘JJTT’ or something.” – Joe Thomas
Ha, how did Tenn not score there? They were inside the 5, 2nd down.
Stayed up late watching the Trojans beat Utah.
It was worth it. That DT on Utah is a fucking beast. Full grown ass man that one.
For some reason, UTAH always shits the bed at the Coliseum.
Being surrounded by all that sinfulness (read: dark-skinned people) really throws them off.
I wish Notre Dame would just cease to exist.
The folks in Paris gave it their best shot earlier in the year. Sorry.
Oui, monsieur arson investigator, this guy right here. ↑
After only a few weeks off I think I’m going to do a special mid season Sunday Gravy.
I’ll post it in the middle of the week though.
Do you know how hard it’s been to cook without taking photos?
I would have thought it would be easier.
It’s so fucking ingrained in me now.
Wisconsin trying to run out the first quarter with a total of three posessions between both teams.
Jenny Taft is my new imaginary girliefriend.
Just don’t ask about what happened to her bathtub
[reads comment for the 4th time]
“Ahhhhhh, right!”
[whispers] Hey guys I bet scotchnaut still doesn’t get it.
I still don’t get it…
Scotchy has an excuse, because he’s Canadian. That means he’s a little slow, eh?
I know it has something to do with Labatt’s 50 beer but I just can’t quite parse it out. So frustrating!
also, I need to get one of them fancy, comfy Nordic recliners. I’d rather it not be super wide, so it can fit in my recluse lair. Any recommends?
I’m on #teamleathersofa, sorry.
Sparty’s defensive front ain’t too shabby.
COME TO DFO FOR YOUR WNBA TAEKS!!!
Dunav Ruse managed a scoreless draw. Which is not bad for an away result. But it no help with #HAILGAMBLOR.
The Rugby World Cup Bonus Point is a weird deal, but it kinda makes sense. Maybe other sports should adopt it…
We just watched todays highlights. As long as the Saffrs keep losing I am good. Canada New Zealand will be a snuff film.
Florida-Tenn review took so long, Mich-Wisc was able to go to commercial-kickoff-commercial before it was done
Drinking whiskey and watching Wiscy play Michigan? That’s quality symmetry, folks!
Also, I put over 175k miles on my minivan, and I’d still be driving it except that one of the twins basically totaled it (extra benefit, in a way I couldn’t report it for insurance – I turned it in for scrap).
870km’s on wifey’s SQ7 … until the neighbour’s rented RV caved in the engine bay and warped the frame (though probably not his fault, because the parking brake was in fact engaged, but it still rolled) XD Now we iz waiting for a new one 😀
Things I did nae expect to say today. Touched down…Vanderbilt??
I go and have 4 minute relations (including undressing) with the missus and come back and Fulham does what Fulham does. Fuck.
ahem, could have been worse
Which way, lol? Because I’m seeing how it can still be a lot worse (in 9 months, 3-pack of daughters 😀 )
already have 3-pack, though only 2 identical
2 sets of twins here (boy and girl each set), an year apart here, lol.
PSA: Listen to your wife’s OB/GYN on when you can have sex AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND up to when it’s ok not to wear protection… or you’d be forced to find a way to drive a large family without giving up on life and buying a minivan 😀
So, as mine said when they were toddlers…fake twins 😀
Also, your post above might be the most Irish thing I ever seen that ain’t involve potato blight.
Or, y’know, just a cautionary tale that men are dumb and horny regardless of race, colour or creed… Especially going cold turkey down from the hormone-fuelled “happy times” of a woman’s pregnancy 😀
I have been fixed, and they didn’t make me wear the cone around my neck!
Same, lol. In fact my doc tried to give me the “talk” on whether I am ready for such a drastic step, which ended abruptly when I pointed out “Doc, I’m 23, have 4 kids. You can chainsaw my head right here, right now and I will be cool with it!”
Doc, I am 43 with a toddler, my back and brain cannot have another one.
Boredness update: Bored as fuck, BUT I can play with some cheap-ass software-defined radios for a while (8 quid DTT dongle makes for a damn-good radio scanner, lol)
Also, I guess betting the over 6 goals for the City game paid off, lol
Series I’ve enjoyed on Netflix that bk109 can binge during his two weeks of forced “recovery time”:
The Detectorists
Lovesick (originally called Scrotal Recall)
A Very Secret Service (In French, with subtitles)
Norsemen (très hot Viking babe included)
They’re all originally from Europe, so they may appeal to you more than standard American crap. Maybe.
Norsemen.. aka Vikingane… very good, not sure which hawt Viking babe you’re referring to 😛
The Detectorists? Unfortunately I saw it when it was first run on the fascist imperialis… Uhm, I mean BBC4 😀
A Very Secret Service? Sounds interesting enough plus I like non-artsy french cinema, which reminds me – if any of you lot wants a good aviation porn movie – Les Chevaliers du ciel . The plot itself is … meh, but the in-flight sequences are done with actual planes maneuvering at speed 🙂 Scrotal Recall wins on name alone 😀
From earlier: Chernobyl – seen it as first run, loved it
Mad Men – Nah, tried to get into it, but not even the extra-lovely Mrs Hendricks and Jones could help 😀
Honestly, at this rate I’ll either lose my mind by Friday… or I’ll just play the Mass Effect Trilogy with every single sidequest (which should eat a good 100 hours or so)
Edit: The recovery time in quotes is insulting… I didn’t even want to go see a doctor, the nose (basically) popped back into place with minimum blinding pain, but nooooooo HR decided to be overprotective and concerned for my well being (Though to be fair, after me concealling some cracked ribs and zap’s, they don’t exactly trust me on my word about my personal health 😀 )
Until I decided to rewatch Mad Men for the fourth or fifth time, the only thing I watch on Netflix for is the Great British Baking Show (and I miss the original hosts and Mary Berry, but eh).
Hence the quotes. I think it’s ridiculous they’re forcing you to go on leave.
I likey the tall blonde warrior Viking gal.
Try “The Wire” for binging. Amazon Prime Video.
I just finished Treme and enjoyed it but it didn’t really develop after the 3rd season. Music was excellent.
Add El Ministerio del Tiempo to that list.
On a separate note, I’d like to thank the Tits defense for the 1 point they gave me Thursday night.
I needed at least 10 to keep pace with that magnificent bastard….teh Hippo.
It’s all on you now Lamar.
/yes I heard it
//cries a little
today shaping up to be PERFECT for suicide, but I have to beat your DFO-ball side first
I think you got me already. I was just happy to be undefeated for two weeks, and sitting in 2nd place.
Thanks, Mike Hutchence.
4-4-2 finally for Everton
Just woke up. Weekend away from Decilitre. I tried to drink all the wine in the Rockies last night. Lack of a hangover is amazing!!! 9 am wine? Don’t mind if I do!
I think today might finally be the day:
https://allthatsinteresting.com/mary-queen-of-scots-execution
I fell asleep early last night. Woke up a coupla times to do the bathroom thing. Then right back to sleep.
Woke up about an hour ago and now already feel like it’s naptime.
At least the Wolven sort don’t play ’til 7pm tonight, so I got time.
UGa is really a 14.5 favourite? That seems off.
This just in: Charles LeClerc is good at driving a race car.
Stop stop Wolves are already dead
… Which would help Watford… how? It’s them getting skullfucked live, not us… Also 5-0
Moose-Hornets could use a thorough arse fucking
Welp. I clearly havent had enough coffee.
– a mortified helicopter pilot to a bloodlust-crazed Sarah Palin
Completely unrelated, after having my nose broken at a work kerfuffle, I’ve been given a non-negotiable couple of weeks of down time, soooo….. uhhh, any good TV shows to alleviate my boredom.. Also Jesus Christ, 4-0 and it’s only the 15th minute…
watch all of Justified
Can’t stand Timothy Olyphant’s acting for some reason… When I’ve seen him pop onto late night shows, I’ve found him consistently fun and interesting, but his roles… 🙁
Also: For the record, the other guy instigated it and threw the first punch… I just landed the next several …I was cleared by HR and cops and legal, but apparently a broken nose requires me to recuperate… regardless of what I may think (and they wonder why I neglected to inform anyone the last couple of times I ate some AC XD )
who fucking goes out and fights the ex-Soviet at work?
A twat that had harrassed one of the troops here in IT for daring to explain to him (again) the rather stringent security policies at work and that she can’t just “shut the fuck up like a good little cunt and just get the computer connected to the LAN” .. Also he thought that having like 20 cm’s and 15-20 kilos on me (I’m 1.87/ 110, so not exactly a pushover) meant that he could intimidate me… Bonus points for being dumb enough to take the first swing in full view of the CCTV and witnesses and then trying to land a second one (Spoiler: It didn’t connect, unlike my knee and his nuts)
🙂
His best role was the porn director in “The Girl Next Door.”
I would counter with the drug dealer in “Go”.
Mad Men. Mad Men, sports, and news are EVERYTHING I’ve watched since May. I’m watching the whole series again for the second time and find it even more compelling.
And Chernobyl. Woof, that was #Top
excellent seleciones
Moise Kean can play some footy
Welp, Shitty’s quick off the mark I see… “Shocking, I know”
they are all between us and the most disgusting thing EVAR (Shite win the League)
So, uhhh, lads – anyone else’s survivor pools get a rule change that you only get to pick against the lolfins a set amount of times and in non-consecutive weeks, or are we being a bit too proactive about it at work 😀
the remedy is also to have a LOSER pool. Can only take fuck you dolphin! once in that (and I am still saving, on the Jest this week).
I placed a decent amount on win and “win/draw” on our beloved Slutsks when they went down a goal – and they’s level at the half. World needs MOAR Slutsk.
God damnit Spurs. Un-fuck yourselves ASAP.
So I”ve committed myself and the Corvette to participating in our town’s little annual Celebration of Specialness (google it if you’re too young to get the reference, funny movie). Therefore, I will miss the early matchups, although there are plenty of Aggies around so someone will probably have a TV going at the car show for the A&M game. Fortunately i should be home in plenty of time to watch the Horns clobber (hopefully) OSU.
See y’all on the other side!
So, Hippo, how does it feel to be such a jinx, that you basically killed my hometown’s football club? :p
wait, wha happen?? Because I has another $50 on Dunav “Bullet-PROOOOF” Ruse today.
The local “respected businessman” that owned the club saw where the political winds were blowing, so he decided to cut funding and sod off into the sunset (as in “sucked all the marrow from the bone, so might as well go for a non-extradition country”). The club would be dead by X-mas… again 🙂
For the record this is all in jest, it’s not actually your fault… but you should reaaaaaaally stop betting on Bulgarian teams. 😀
oh I know, no offense taken but I MUST
/hey, short term “the world is against us” boost??
Short term is “Are we even getting paid this month!?.. Then why bother?!” tbh. And i clarified (about it being in good fun), because sometime humour may not survive the transition to print,lol
oh, Spurs in the shit now
Spurs? Woke. Barcodes? Broke.
oh wait, is Foxes and VAR is anti-semitic
I’m headed to Tim Horton’s to grab an iced capp. Who’s with me?
/fine. Keep on sleeping then.
I’m boycotting them ever since they colluded to get rid of the Iced Kaep.
Have you caught any hot, hot preseason hockey action yet?
Indeed! Best part is that the tv feed is just the in stadium jumbotron view. And the subpar effort is a close second.
Iced and/or sugary coffee is an abomination in the eyes of the LAWD 😀
I need this shock to the system in order to get these old bones rattling in the morn. There’s a hike to be done!
I need another 7-8 cups of the hot, black stuff (PHRASING!) to pry my eyes open.
