Your “Good To Be Home” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • Atlanta is the first “home” team named for the International Series.
    • By agreeing, it means the Falcons will get to host a Super Bowl sometime in the late 2020s.
    • No word on whether they will be playing in London or Mexico City, but based on Donald Trump’s frequent mentions of MS-13 & the South, perhaps San Salvador is in their future.
  • Eight games into a three-year, $16.5 million contract, the Bengals have cut linebacker Preston Brown.
    • He had $4.8 million guaranteed, and will be worth $2.5 million in dead cap money each year for the next two.
    • I believe we all look forward to him finishing the season with the Patriots or Seahawks.
  • Speaking of Seattle, Tyler Lockett is expected to make a full recovery from the leg injury he suffered Monday night.
    • “A serious bruise to the shin” is what it’s being called, with swelling having occured which forced the training staff to refer Lockett to the hospital for observation.
      • He wasn’t able to fly home with the team because of concern over whether the swelling might intensify due to the flight.
    • The Seahawks have a bye, and Lockett is expected to be re-evaluated in the middle of next week.

Well, WineWife & I decided to go away for the long weekend, and where we chose was not exactly “romantic” but “frigid”.

I will have a “Boots On The Ground” report soon, but it’s nice to know that my photo posting for Mom wasn’t totally ignored on the wider web.

I do appreciate the photo credit.

Attending a game in the snow is fun. Driving home from that game in the snow on a highway filled with drunk Packers fans was decidedly not.

My Anteaters beat Life Pacific tonight in roundball. Just found out that Life Pacific is a “Foursquare Church” college in San Dimas, which is cool because of Bill and Ted. They are NAIA athletically, which means five of us might give them a game. Woo early season college hoops!

Unsurprised

Skimming r/television is the surest way to know that the only TV I’ve seen since the end of GoT has been the Great British Baking Show and I haven’t missed anything.

SonOfSpam

Really enjoying Watchmen for what it’s worth

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Currently watching Great British Baking Show and have no regrets

Unsurprised

It’s the best

Unsurprised

I’m drinking. Shit’s either really good or really bad.

Sharkbait

Here’s hoping it’s happy drinking

Unsurprised

I should’ve gotten wine or at least Brown Shugga. That’s 10%. This is weak shit. So it must be good news.

Unsurprised

Do you watch any television?

I do, I watch the news from different sources. Sometimes I see things that are completely against my cultural nature. I was raised with Latin and Ancient Greek and poetry from Greek antiquity, but sometimes, just to see the world I live in, I watch “WrestleMania.”

SonOfSpam

He’s an international treasure.

Brick Meathook

I have no idea who spoke that quote but one thing is clear: he’s a moron.

SonOfSpam

It was the immortal Werner Herzog.

Brick Meathook

He’s lying.

Senor Weaselo

Cobain, Hendrix, et al. can suck it.

SonOfSpam

The end of a shotgun?

Brick Meathook

Hey, Hendrix sucked on vomit

SonOfSpam

True, but he may have shotgunned a beer, so…?

I haven’t done that in years. We should all get together in LA and shotgun beers.

Unsurprised

I’m in. I may even bring Even Less Surprised.

ALXMAC

HAPPY 28th WEAS!!!!!

Huzzah, you tiny baby!

*raises rye manhattan*

Gentlemen.

Senor Weaselo

Shit, pyro check on Sharky!

Sharkbait

Not on fire, but I’ve got something going.

Strange way to say you’re beating off, but please, finish. Don’t mind the rest of us.

I thought this was a joke paraphrase. According to the video, it is not.

Well, that seem like pretty reputable source. Must be true.

Unsurprised

This makes me reconsider whether the whole organ harvesting thing is bad

ballsofsteelandfury

Just had a Popeye’s Chicken sandwich. Pretty good, but I wouldn’t kill any folks over it.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

But would you save someone else’s life if it means you wouldn’t get one? Like, if you were about to bite into one, and saw someone drowning, and knew that if you dropped the chicken sandwich to go help them, it would probably be eaten by the stray dog that had been hungrily eyeing it the entire time, would you still save them?

I cannot answer this question personally cause I have yet to try one of these fabled chicken sandwiches.

ballsofsteelandfury

I can answer this question because I’m an asshole.

No.

ballsofsteelandfury

And that’s a reflection on me, not on the chicken.

Unsurprised

Just in case it wasn’t obvious that Balls is a law-talking guy

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Also probably a clue about your confidence in your swimming ability.

If this drowning is happening so close to a Popeye’s, I’d imagine they’re drowning because they refuse to drop their chicken sandwich and swim.

TheRevanchist

I don’t know how to swim and don’t care to die drowning. So, I plan on enjoying that sandwich.

TheRevanchist

Emily Mayfield hates fair weather fried chicken fans.

Unsurprised

Line Cutters get cut

Robby McGoo???

Is that your porn name?

Holy hell, Evansville beat Kentucky.

my best imaginary #BFIB pal (and sim-league baseball commish) is a Purple Aces grad. He also grew up a Fightin’ Illini fan, so he’s had quite the sportsball 72 hours.

So what’re saying is this time the Aces…

Hey Tucker and Don, check out the rightmost column in this table. Can’t wait to see how much more those numbers change when data from 2018 gets included.

When I see that I immediately think of poorly thought-out arguments regarding the 2nd amendment.

I see there is a lot of growth in men’s underwear.

I thought he was dead.

Ah, cool. I have a PS4 copy of Shenmue 3 coming, only I don’t have a PS4. Mistakes were made.

It’s a kickstarter reward from like 5 years ago that I forget about from time to time

herodotus450

Don’t look now, Scotchy, but the Wings have scorched off two in a row and are back tied for last place with the Sillytors.

scotchnaut

You think you’re so bad. We’ll show you how bad ‘bad’ can be.

/I’m trying to say that the Sens are the opposite of good
//is that bad?

herodotus450

I’ve heard the top two prospects in next year’s draft are very good, Mathews-good even.

TheRevanchist

Cutting Preston Brown to make some room for Antonio Brown? Maybe.

Giving up on any season from here on out? Most likely.

theeWeeBabySeamus

It’s cold here today. I wore a turtleneck and a pullover previously owned by none other than the father of the former tWLS.

It’s been a while, but it was warm.

He was CIA. Who wants some secrets?
