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.
The club resides in the St. Pauli quarter of Hamburg. The club has departments in various sports as most do in Europe including roller derby and skittles. What the hell is skittles beside a terrible sweet candy? It is some bowling game with nine pins that can be played indoor or outdoor.
Hookers on your doorstep!
They play their home games at Millerntor-Stadion in the red light district!. It has a capacity of about 30k where 17k are standing and only 13k are seated.
Wakezilla said their history is interesting and instead of regurgitating wikipedia I’ll give you a snippet I find the most interesting; “It was in the mid-1980s that St. Pauli’s transition from a standard traditional club into a “Kult” club began. The club was also able to turn the location of its ground in the dock area part of town, near Hamburg’s famous Reeperbahn – centre of the city’s night life and its red-light district – to its advantage. An alternative fan scene slowly emerged, built around left-leaning politics, social activism and the event and party atmosphere of the club’s matches. Supporters adopted the skull and crossbones as their own unofficial emblem. St. Pauli became the first team in Germany to officially ban right-wing nationalist activities and displays in its stadium in an era when fascist-inspired football hooliganism threatened the game across Europe. In 1981, the team was averaging small crowds of only 1,600 spectators, but by the late 1990s they were frequently selling out their entire 20,000-capacity ground.”
Left wing activism in the red light district? Do they also like painkillers, weed, and beer? If so we may be moving on from Young Boys to a Saint, wait, that doesn’t sound right.
/ I used to be behind Young Boys and now there is a Saint inf ront of me
More from wikipedia “St. Pauli enjoys a certain fame for the left-leaning character of its supporters: most of the team’s fans regard themselves as anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-homophobic and anti-sexist, and this has on occasion brought them into conflict with neo-Nazis and hooligans at away games. The organization has adopted an outspoken stance against racism, fascism, sexism, and homophobia and has embodied this position in its constitution.Team supporters traditionally participate in demonstrations in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli, including those over squatting or low-income housing, such as the Hafenstraße and Bambule. The centRe of fan activity is the Fanladen St. Pauli.”
They were about to go bankrupt and they sold 140 000 tshirts and organized a game against Bayern to keep them afloat.
They currently are in Bundesliga 2 and beat Hamburger SV 2-0 on Monday which is their derby so that would have been a game to attend. I watched this a while ago and it explains a lot.
Hooligans? With skull and crossbones as their symbol you know that they do! They open all of their home contests to Hells Bells which is just perfekt!
Out this passion in my veins, look at Ballack and Kahn!
I suggest if this interests you to read up on these guys as the more I read the more I like them. There are a lot of leftist bands that have adpopted them and written songs about them like Turbonegro from Scandinavia.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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 😀
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 😀
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 😀
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!”
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).
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
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 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.
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…
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 )
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)
🙂
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.
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 😀
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.
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.
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. 😀
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
