I hope you’ve enjoyed staying up late / waking up early to watch the Rugby World Cup LIVE! from Japan.
Having attended the Rugby World Sevens last year in San Francisco, I can only imagine the bacchanalia. BeerBrother, who works for a Japanese company, said that all travel to head office has been suspended for the month because the costs are too high given the tourism. And as a gaijin working for an American subsidiary, he didn’t qualify for executive tickets. I say good thing, because the nightmare fuel that are the mascots
are enough to ward off going there until the tournament’s over & they’re put to sleep.
Don’t forget to check out Rikki’s award-shadowed 2019 World Cup Preview. It’s chock-full of stats & enough secret links to hardcore anime to keep anyone interested & occupied for hours.

Enjoy your evening, and the games tomorrow.
I graduated high school in 1977. 1977 is also the year that it became legally and apparently ethically acceptable for attorneys to advertise their services.
With the accession of Jimmy Carter to the presidency and the subsequent perceived disaster of his administration, and the acceleration of the Republican destruction of our country commencing with the election of Reagan, I have to think that the appearance of attorney ads is one of the things that contributed to the arrival of our country to Mad Max world, which will be coming soon if the Sentient Overflowing Colostomy Bag in the White House has his way.
I am drunk.
Ok St. with a terrible fake fg. Spoiler, it doesn’t work.
As UT alum, enjoyed that as much as I hated the preceding INT.
I take it back, somehow the A-team CBS sports talking guys are worse than the yahoos they have doing the 3:30 game

Watching this UT game made me think for some reason of Charles Whitman the UT tower sniper whose switch got flipped back in 1966. Looking around contemporary America and what goes down as normal activity anymore, I’ve got to say that motherfucker was a real pioneer. Just like Charles Lindbergh, the Wright brothers, Robert Oppenheimer, and that dude that invented the submarine.
It’s pretty fucked up to walk around Austin and realize that you can see that tower (and thus he could have seen you) from just about everywhere.
Shit could happen to any of us any time any where. It’s the sacrifice we all make for the fetishizing of the Second Amendment that we have to live with. The Gun Nuts/AmmoSexuals have won.
Edit, I am a liberal who owns guns.
Every week watching college football: “There’s no face guarding in college” (whatever that means)
CBS guy just now defending Geargia: “Well he didn’t look back to find the ball so it’s suspicious”
UGA-ND: SUDDEN CHANGE
I really like it when someone posts SUDDEN CHANGE, even if it’s me posting it.
“Sudden change is always a welcome surprise.” – Todd Marinovich
Probably the only way we get force behind expanded playoffs is if the TV foofs have a Sophie’s Choice between ND and Texas.
Better nuke Austin and South Bend just to be sure.
I would seriously like to make a dirty bomb in the clubhouse for you to deploy as you deem best. Inshallah.
Can you just nuke Midand-Odessa instead? That might even make it so TX goes blue. Which goal nuking Austin would set back 25 years.
I want Texas (and Oklahoma) to sink into the core of the Earth where it belongs.
Dutch chemical engineer at the bar tells me that the Dutch translation subtitles in that one Just OK is not OK ads are accurate, but bearded dude’s accent is awful. I told him that his Dutch accent when he speaks English is pretty noticeable too. That shut fucking Euro-Boy right the fuck down.
Dream scenario is having unranked Michigan beat Ohio State
So you want 4 SEC teams in the playoff?
Boise State is due.
oh yeah, I forgot about tOSU. The field is basically already set then. Bama, tOSU, Son de Clem, ND. FUCKING GREAT.
And then to rub gangrenous salt in the wound, Patriots win their 7th Super Bowl.
I’ve already made peace with that.
Somebody’s gonna lose a game, it always happens. An Okiehoma is in there too.
nah, after ND wins tonight, they’d need to lose 2. Son de Clem is almost impossible to lose to anyone left on their schedule. Same re tOSU.
That’s the same thing I’ve said about OSU’s schedule for the last 7 or 8 years. Only once did they actually go undefeated. Seems like two undefeated teams is very rare, there will be plenty of #debate to be had.
Both Meechigan teams are just soooooo bad this year. I don’t recall such a disparity previously. And that Cancer Boy already died, so forget about a Purdue re-run.
How fucking stupid is Kirby Smart??
at least ND butchered the clock management there
That was Reidian, almost Lovie Smithian, clock management

I have posted before, it’s the most hauntingly beautiful, heartbreaking performance I’ve seen.
The fact she doesn’t smile is FUCKING HOT
she is something of a recluse (maybe even more than me), gets terrible stage fright apparently
and YES, she is my ideal woman. Understands introversion, moody artist-type, slender Latina.
lol of course the Patriots cut Brown after the guys on my bench played
I’d cut him and pick someone else up. Who is on waiver wire?
FYI, I cut Cam Newton yesterday.
That giant human got it for a TD.
Walter Goggins is broke
He’s broke mostly because everyone keeps misspelling his first name.
Some guy named Walter is getting a lot of residual checks.
The fools! Those hedges in Georgia’s stadium are green, that’s Notre Dame’s color.
Whoopsie. Builldogs do have short forelegs
Urban Liar to ND?
That’s too evil to not happen.

So now DirecTV is telling me that they are in a pissing contest with Sinclair Fascist Communications Company. and that I need to go to some website. I probably will do that if those Sinclair channels (NBC and Fox, who provide a considerable percentage of my NFL watchitude) disappear from my channel options.

Not much Bush left out there these days. I understand that crab lice are now an endangered species due to habitat depilation/depletion.

Jawja is sheeeeit. Bama, Son de Clem, Fucking Irish all in the playoffs. AGAIN.
Irish learning a Lobo and Bulldog are very different
Did UNM play ND and no one told me? Jesus. I’d have flown back to Albuquerque to watch that
they played in South Bend
The people I’d want to watch wouldn’t have gone.
Fuck!!!!! I would’ve loved to see all the torn loyalties between people who went to UNM and people who like ND because they’re fucking stupid.

Horns giving Cowboys the horn early, can it last, or will there be a SUDDEN CHANGE?

UGA may want to cover that massive human with a gold helmet.
jesus. how big is 84 for ND?
UGA needs to pay its power bill. the lights keep flickering
Fuck that nasty Dr Pepper shit, no matter how clever the ad campaign is.
The “Tech baby” is basically a miscegenation joke, it straddles the line between clever and really fucking offensive.
That’s kinda why I have a secret admiration for it.
While Dr. Pep is at work making money Mr. Pibb is fucking his wife everybody knows that.
That is fucking brilliant.
Meanwhile, the housekeeper Fanta has a secret of her own…
oh yeah there was also el beisbol today (while I napped):

I want Chaos, Go Irish!
I bought a bottle of Jameson’s this afternoon.
how much left? 😀
have not cracked it yet, still polishing off the pitcher of beer margaritas I made earlier, whose recipe I shared here recently, but will certainly re-post if requested.
I need to make more money so I can develop a drinking habit. That sounds awesome.
That 14.5 UGA spread has leaped to 16. Bananacakes.
HA, how about NC State’s Mad Genius OC (from like past 4-5 years) beating U*NC in his first big game as Happy Appy head coach!

Mahomes is Aaron Rodgers’ friend? So, maybe, Mahomo?
Bitch, please. I could do MUCH better than that if I wasn’t elbow deep in athletic brunette pussy. – Aaron R., Appleton, WI
Is that a beard, or a bearded clam?
UT players knee1ing in Aust1n!!!! Horrible scandal! Oh, the1r are praying and the guy leading it is wh1te? That’s ok then.
I only root for A&M when they are playing SEC teams that I hate more than them, which is all of them except maybe LSU for some reason I can’t fathom, but deep down I love seeing the Aggies lose because it antagonizes and traumatizes all my local Aggie acquaintances so thoroughly (not a collegial thing, they are mostly Republicans and I just plain like seeing those people have to eat their liver).
Even by Texas football fan standards, Aggies Fans are weirdos
I know more than one Aggie alumni that has an RV stored at College Station reserved solely for tailgating before home games. What is that, 8 or 10 games a year? That is psychotic. I guess they can afford it though.
Pitt decides to grow a pair a week too late. I guess they didnt want Pedo State to see their balls had dropped

“Classic Car Show” at the local Celebration of Specialness today was a bit of a fucking frost. In attendance were my 1964 Corvette roadster, a 1967 Camaro driven by the original owner’s husband (his wife’s first car bought new, freshly restored, with a shitty paint job and a 6-cylinder motor), a lovely 1967 Mustang 390 (Bullitt, anyone?) with a magnificent paint job, a big-block 1955 Chevy 2-door post, some hundred year old Ford Model T, some useless mid-70s Corvette sporting a Congressman Chip Roy (R-19th Century) re-election campaign sign, fuck that scamming motherfucking sonofabitch, and 15 fucking late model Mustangs (yawn). Sorry, your 2008 Mustang will not be a “classic” for another 15 or 20 years, you fucking idiot. Only stayed for a couple hours, came home to watch some football and ended up drinking a pitcher of my beer margaritas, will be passing out soon.
Now THAT is a Saturday!
Well, even though certain aspects of it were fucking horrifying (the TRUMP 2020 booth springs to mind), it certainly wasn’t boring.
More exciting than mine. I’m barely taking a shower now and only because it’s my niece’s birthday party soon. The whole day I’ve been wearing the same clothes I slept in.
Hell, I’ve been wearing the same underwear all week.
Week 3 and the Reedley Tigers hosted Contra Costa College.
Motherfuckers should have stayed home.
66-7 Reedley!
3-0 on the season.
I might be interested in hate-fucking Flo’s sister.

I guess we aren’t watching the same games/ads….
UCF announcers: “How can you play football without eating meat?”
Michael Sam: “No idea.”

*: TBD
My earlier discussion about visiting Hamburg naturally led to…
A burger and beers.
It was delightful.
“Lotsa nice German minge in Hamburg, mate.”
-Dudes from Liverpool
That’s the whole idea.
Yes! All over the rugby!
Never thought I would miss the usual CBS SEC cock gobbling, but this B-team doing the Auburn game aren’t even qualified to call Plano-John Tyler
