Your “Oh God – It Won’t Stop!” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

I had to call in sick for school today. It’s not that I can’t keep anything down, it’s that I can’t keep anything in. Bear with me while I type this in a Tylenol haze. Plain rice for me!

NFL Nuggets:

  • Now ex-Dolphins RB Mark Walton was cut today after he was “arrested on a charge of aggravated battery of a pregnant person.”
    • According to a Broward County arrest report, Walton allegedly pushed the victim against a wall and punched her several times in the face and head after an argument.
    • Walton is currently serving a four-game suspension stemming from three arrests last year, which led to him being cut by the Bengals.
      • His plea deal on those cut his expected jail time from five years down to 60 days.
      • The Dolphins signed him, and he appeared in seven games prior to the suspension starting.
  • Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but Richard Sherman thinks the refs are out to get him.
    • He concluded this after the three PI calls he took on Sunday, especially the one that wasn’t called but then reversed into a penalty.
    • He does have one high-profile supporter.

  • Rumours abound that AB might be going back to the Patriots.
    • This is based on an apology tweet sent from his twitter to Robert Kraft’s, otherwise known as a “slow news Tuesday”.

A Hollywood exec suggested Julia Roberts as the lead in “Tubman”

The money quote: “When someone pointed out that Julia Roberts couldn’t be Harriet, the executive responded, ‘It was so long ago. No one is going to know the difference.’”

Is it possible this studio exec was Trump? Thanks to that bloated gasbag, I’m ready to believe anything about anyone.

That’s a made-up story.

What’s real is when Sony head Jon Peters visited the set of “Rain Man” which starred both Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise and Peters asked “which one is the retard?”

Tell me about it. November 19th is wifey and I’s anniversary. It’s also the anniversary of my brother-in-law’s death, ten years to the day. November 23, 2003 was when wifey’s dad was killed in a motorcycle accident. I get nervous this time of year.

I can’t think of anything even a little untasteless, so Happy Anniversary.

If it helps, my hairdresser is of Middle Eastern (Lebanese) descent, and her anniversary is…9/11. So it could get MOAR awkward!

Man, it’s gonna be really interesting to watch the Republicans go all “Science Officer Ashe” over then next couple weeks as this shit continues to go south on them. (FF to about 1:45).

He’s really messed up the weight distribution on the beetle.

It wasn’t great to begin with, but now I doubt that car can turn.

Brick Meathook

I read that he keeps bags of cement in the front trunk. It is driven by a 4’ propeller and he was planning to run it at Bonneville so I doubt he cares about turning. (It’s practically an art car) Interestingly, the engine is off a 1941 M-2 tank, not an airplane.

That makes more sense then. Cool project.

And, apparently, breakfast too.

I’m going to build a house next door.

And I’ll open a pharmacy specializing in nitroglycerin, insulin, cholesterol and high blood pressure meds next to your new home.

A girl in line told us she goes there for the waffles. Apparently, they’re even better than the burgers.

Probably a good idea. It was around 2 and the pharmacy had just opened up in the front seat of the car parked next to us…

Our guys in the mail room are on it. They go their frequently and the mailroom manager grabs a tray of their chicken wings every time we have a potluck.

So, I got Vlad the Impala electrically wired without any blown fuses or melted wires, refilled the cooling system, and fired it up for the first time since April. Much smoke initially as the spilled hydraulic fluid and power steering fluid and other various and sundry fluids burned off the exhaust, but started easily and ran smoothly (weird, since I haven’t really done anything to the engine as of yet).
Unfortunately, the car would not move when put in gear. I guess (hope) that I adjusted the parking brake shoes too tight, that’s a tomorrow project. Very optimistic though.

If my car were a Mopar like Bundy’s instead of a Chevrolet, it would most likely be a large pile of iron oxide.

There is no shame in not being familiar with the mysterious workings of automobiles. Shit, you need an EE degree to work on anything built in the last 25 years.
Working on the old sleds is going to become a lost art as us old petrol head boomers go extinct.
My 40-something-year-old next door neighbor gets called over on occasion when I need a third hand or third foot or just plain feel better having someone present to call 911 if the car falls on me. Now this is a guy who investigated plane crashes during a 20+ year career in the USAF, his first question when I started dismantling the car was “How the fuck do you know how to do all this shit?”
I never really thought about it. I’ve heard the term “mechanically inclined.” Me and my dad built my first car, a Meyers-Manx dune buggy, out of a bunch of spare VW parts when I was 14-15 years old. I was a machine tool operator in the Navy (lathes, mills, drill presses, surface grinders, etc.). Both my grand-dads were tool and die makers of such talent that they were prohibited from enlisting in the fight against Hitler/Musso/Tojo and instead spent the war in machine shops in various locations in Massachusetts in support of the war effort. So maybe it’s genetic as well.
I never disparage/mock someone for lack of mechanical knowledge. It’s very much a manifestation of your upbringing/environment.
Also, I cheat. I buy and use the manuals. Currently (among others):

This was interesting. I am terribly not mechanically inclined and enjoyed reading this.

I was at this game. The Sens were such a pile of garbage for so many years and were trying to sneak into the playoffs but needed to get a win vs. eventual Hart Trophy-winning Hasek and the first place Sabres in the last game of the year. I had no voice for three days. My girlie and I just couldn’t believe the Sens scored against him.

If you took the best players from Ottawa and Detroit and combined them, you’d have a pretty good AHL team.

A Sens/Wings game is the equivalent of two thirty-something brothers fighting for the top bunk in the basement of their parent’s house.

1) Headline image is timely. I am waiting for a kidney stone to pass (first time!) and I’m thisclose to telling my wife she doesn’t understand pain. However, in the interest of keeping my balls, I will ultimately refrain.
1b) I do not recommend getting kidney stones. It is a bad time.
2) Mark Walton is hashtagUpForAnything except hearing that a girl he fucked impregnated herself.
3) Much as I’d love to party with Gronk, this sounds like a black hole of douchebaggery such that the universe may implode into itself and leave nothing but a faint smell of vinegar.
1c) Drink water so as to not get kidney stones.

1
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Light beer counts as water, right?

1
SonOfSpam

“While excessive consumption of alcohol could put someone at a greater risk for kidney stones, moderate consumption has actually been shown to potentially prevent kidney stones.”

Kind of a bad news/good news thing.

1
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Well that’s easy, I’ll just double up my moderate consumption and get TWICE the benefit!

King Hippo

The ER nurse (on my 2nd kidney stone hopsital visit) told me she had 4 kids and 1 kidney stone, and she’d take “kid” any day of the week.

1
Viva La Tabula Raza

My dad passed a kidney stone when I was 7 years old. Watching the central hero of my life at the time crying out in pain was a traumatic experience, and his proclivity for them has thus far not passed on down to me.
Drink water, indeed, but not hard water. And stay away from dairy. Anything with a lot of calcium increases the odds against you, if you tend that way
