Your “Not All Reminiscing Is Bad” Saturday Evening Open Thread

Since in Canada we call US Thanksgiving “Thursday”, I don’t really have much to add to the whole foofaraw. I was thankful back in October; now I’m just bitterly anticipating having to go Christmas shopping.

But the nuzzle at my elbow reminded me that we’ve had Riga five years today. We got her at 10 weeks, when her first family returned her to the breeder because she required more time than they could deal with.

WHAT THE FU–?!!??!1!!? First off – who returns a puppy? And second, who makes that type of expensive mistake?

But I digress. Anyway, what better way to start off a Saturday evening than with some puppy photos!

Here she is on the first day:

   

And here she is today (plus Lambeau).

   

Better looking than any baby my deformed genes could’ve been part of. She’s a mighty good girl, and I like her a hell of a lot more than most people. Hell, she’s kept me from being the Angelo Buono to Scotchy’s Kenneth Bianchi. There’s a few people not missing because my dogs keep me centred, so for that alone she’s earned her praise.

yeah right

Fuck yeah! Ministry up first and the seats are fucking killer.

King Hippo

who on earth would Ministry only OPEN for??

King Hippo
yeah right

They played this. Primus is next then Slayer.

litre_cola

I found Utah fans to be extremely friendly when in Salt Lake. BYU fans and I do not see eye to eye on a lot of subjects.

King Hippo

yep, BYU folk are up their own butts. Otherwise, Utah and Utah folk are awesome.

Senor Weaselo

You’d expect they’d be up someone else’s butts.

The Hudson river landing theory caught me off guard, but it’s worth pointing out that every city should have people whose sole job is to walk through city parks and shoot Canadian Geese in the fucking head

geese are just rats that fly. Like how rabbits are just rats with cute ears.

Looks like Dennis Leary’s “Rescue Me” checks finally ran out and he’s got to do some shitty christmas special to pay for the coke.

King Hippo

But he SMOKES! Soooooo edgy!!!

Why is Oklahoma State BDSM State? Asking for someone who doesn’t follow JV footy.

King Hippo

The giant orange paddles the students all smack against the railing.

herodotus450

Is it because Justin Blackmon’s mom was into some weird stuff?

Spur

that costs extra

Spur

Let’s get drunk folks, tomorrow let’s get high.

Sharkbait

Sounds good to me. What about Monday?

ArmedandHammered

Meth Monday

litre_cola

Toothless Tuesday?

King Hippo

Truck Stop Handjob Thursday!

litre_cola

Is that after we spend our cheque on welfare Wednesday?

King Hippo

THIS Hoser gets it!!

I literally can’t plan that far ahead

Live bet BDSM State at +586. Let’s do this, mulleted coach!!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Btw are we getting a separate post on LDB challenge? If not, can we get a rules update? Or at least a starting date? What does a horseshoe do?

Senor Weaselo

I didn’t think we’d need a separate post since we know about it. Rules are the same, game started at 12:01 local time Black Friday and continues until 11:59 PM on the 23rd. (Apparently once the clock hits Christmas Eve you’re free.)

I would love to see Utah make OSU piss it’s pants in the playoffs

King Hippo

which is why I am pulling for BDSM State

herodotus450

Will it be Utah’s slow wideouts or their slow runningbacks that punish osu?

King Hippo

For the first time all year, you’d face an actual defense??

herodotus450

They showed some stat today about Dobbins running for 175+ against, at the time of playing, four top 5 ranked run defenses. Not sure how those ranks are determined or if they matter given the unevenness of a typical cfb schedule. Plus, there’s gotta be enough osu grads in Utah willing to get pregnant for the cause and get half the team suspended.

King of the Cupcakes is in for a rude awakening

HAIL GAMBLOR update – 5 Lesser Footy bets placed, only 2 were > 50% odds (each of which I bet heavily to make up for the line), 5 correct with Alajuelesne’s win tonight.

Fronkenshteen

Not for nothing, but the Toronto Maple Leafs radio team is hot shit. Very entertaining, informative and funny.

Senor Weaselo

You know what the Harbaugh brothers have in common? Neither’s beaten Ohio State.

herodotus450

Just saw a stat that Alabammy has missed 101 field goals since Saban came back in 2007, the most of any team in that time frame.

Fronkenshteen

Those weren’t missed FGs. Those footballs were trying to escape.

/ I think that’s a joke

King Hippo

Secular Big Love really is gonna cock this up.

herodotus450

They”re just tanking to get their coach back… Urban.

Fronkenshteen

Who’s got action? I’ll mush the other team.

King Hippo

Moneyline on Arizona and San Diego State

litre_cola

Utah and Hawaii

Fronkenshteen

My buddy was going to title his memoir “Hawaii -8: Confessions Of A Degenerate Gambler”. He’d have written it too, but his bookie took his thumbs.

/ kidding

TheRevanchist

To those who get San Diego Superchargers as your game, I am sorry. To those of us blessed to see KC on the holy day of football, be thankful for all your blessings on this Thanksgiving weekend. Amen.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

In all fairness I think the Chargers-Broncos game will be significantly more interesting, at least in a competitive sense.

King Hippo

There may be things in this world I hate more than that old, fat fuck Mack Brown. But they ain’t numerous.

King Hippo

lookit this gold plate I done found!!!

Col. Duke LaCross

Is there anything funnier than seeing Mel Tucker on the JV Donks’ sideline?

King Hippo

He is one angry looking mofo.

Man, that crowd must have had so much Sprite

Jesus Christ, just give Trump the fucking election.

I thought “well, maybe it was an accident and an opportunistic photo” but no, he was being playful with the misses while she introduced him

Viva La Tabula Raza

Why even bother with an election? Just use that money to buy brown shirt unis for the Magats.

King Hippo

This is why Sen. Warren is fast becoming the only option, whatever imperfections she may have as a candidate.

litre_cola

I love that North Dakota is Wentz country.

Gratliff

An obvious downside to having two very similar looking dogs is constantly calling them by the wrong name. My one german shepherd is only 6 months, and I’m already physically incapable of not calling him by his sister’s name. Dogs are gonna gaslight me into thinking I have dementia.

King Hippo

Team Secular Big Love even gets Molly McGrath in town!!

Horatio Cornblower

How’d you like to be the reporter assigned to try to interview Saban right now?

King Hippo

Team Secular Big Love, looking in good position now.

WCS

Lots of lynchings tonight…

King Hippo

I mean, at least one of the key offenders was white ,, smh

Senor Weaselo

And a 12 men on the field to end it. Saban’s gonna murder the fuck outta someone.

King Hippo

They lose due to inability to count! How very Alabama.

Horatio Cornblower

Banner this hippo

Viva La Tabula Raza

Fucking Ay.

Horatio Cornblower

Run the punt back for the TD, crack the Seventh Seal, fuck everything.

Horatio Cornblower

Or just do that. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

Those new oak trees are fucking doomed.

Welp, Saban’s gonna have the kickers family deported and then killed

Just got back from a birthday party at a cidery, where I walked confidently up to the bartender and said “I’ll have two Hot Cocks, please.”

King Hippo

gotta have one FOAR each hand!

Horatio Cornblower

Believe it or not, I do have friends in real life for whom I occasionally buy a round.

Well, a friend anyway.

JerBear50

Making your kid drive you around doesn’t make him your friend.

King Hippo

Bama kicks a FG here, they deffo lose

Horatio Cornblower

Have to here.

King Hippo

yep, though I still think they’ll lose because of it

King Hippo

well, obvs now

Brick Meathook

I got tickets to see “Ford vs Ferrari” at the best movie theater in the U.S. at 8:00 PM Eastern and I finally found a TV to watch this “bananacakes “ Iron Bowl and this could go on forever! Plus two blowsy babes just sat down next to me.

herodotus450

Let’s get this comment to double digit “This is Great”s so Brick can show it and show off to the ladies.

Horatio Cornblower

Done. Brick is not only the most handsome of the DFOers, but I’m also led to believe the most well-endowed, so I’m happy to do it.

WCS

The fucking Iron Bowl. I need to crank some Iron Maiden

King Hippo

Just your run-of-the-mill 46-45 game, plenty of time left

WCS

BP: Somehow We’ll Destroy the Environment

King Hippo

This might be the best JV WR game I have ever seen

Brick Meathook

Those are not only two extremely handsome dogs but they also both look quite content as well.

King Hippo

Being a dog or cat parent (and/or grandparent) is well-important. Unlike with human chill’uns, what you actually put into it matters and is appreciated.

King Hippo

Our cats and dogs >>>>>>>>>>> ppl

/Riga is also a badass name
