Your “Guess What Day It Is” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

Mike, Mike, Mike….

Guess what day it is.

HUMP DAY!!!!!

Yep, we’re halfway there this week.  Only four days until the LIV Tyler Superb Owl too.

Would volunteer to be her tackling dummy

Anywhoooo…

It’s time to start making plans if you haven’t already.  Who are you inviting to your house foar the game?  Who has invited you to their house?  What will you be eating?  How drunk will you be by kickoff?

Do you care who wins?

Talk about it all down there in the comments.

But for now we have some other sprots to deal with tonight.  Actually not a terrible night foar a Wednesday.

And if you have the chance to hump someone, for goodness sake take it.  But take precautions.

Including not giving them your home address.

(sorry, bad joke)

Let’s raise a warm, hate-week beaker of acid to the very worst thing in ALL of sports betting: the empty net goal. Making “winners” of fucking losers, at my expense, for years.

ALXMAC
ALXMAC
yeah right

So I’ve got a hair-brained theory.
Again.

The Mandalorian is basically…

Kung Fu! The TV show

With a baby Yoda.

They have no linear plot advancement, it’s just a reason to go on crazy adventures every week with a slightly exotic protagonist.

It’s an unconventional western.

The traits are right there.

Not to mention the weekly scripts are nothing more than X gets in danger. X gets out of danger using his wiley skills. Show the baby Yoda. Kill some bad guys.

Repeat.

This is some of the most vile shit I’ve ever seen.

BC Dick

So these doctors don’t think for themselves? That’s the real disappointment here.

BC Dick

“Combining Yelp-like reviews with an Uber-style on-demand booking service” for doctors. What kind of cut-rate, Yale-educated dunces would want that as part of their medical practice?

ALXMAC

OK tWBS; what does !!LIV!! have to do with this years BIG GAME??

ballsofsteelandfury

LIV=54 in Roman numerals?

ALXMAC

If tWBS has been made a lizard person that has Xtra special permissions I wouldn’t be surprised. He’s been on here long enough to be one.

ALXMAC

Yes that’s at least her 2nd space movie. Still doesn’t explain her connection to the BiG GAME:

OOPS sorry; I realize that looks like some other Superb Owl bowl instead of why you referenced Liv Tyler….

That’s AT LEAST a 3 seed, and we’ve only just begun…

Senor Weaselo

I haven’t done the seeding but selections will go no later than the end of 2019—it will have to wait until the 2021 tournament.

ALXMAC

Dammit. It won’t have the same IMPACT in 2021 as it does now. My personal (late, per usual) new year resolution is to get at least one banner quote this year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75wDuEhmVZY

Senor Weaselo

Perfect! There are 65 banners from 2019. There are the ones from August-December 2018 as well which we can talk about.

That works, me thinks.

Mike Smith, starting Edmonton goalie, totally NOT a guy in witness protection with a generic name.

So that’s where Bubbles went after leaving Sunnyvale.

There have been over 50 fouls called in this game, and there’s still six minutes left.

Gumbygirl

Why are they showing a rerun of Jeopardy from 2 days ago? WHHHHHHYYYYYYY!

BC Dick

Criminal, almost.

Gumbygirl

Now they say they’re going to air today’s show at 2:07 am. I love you, Alex, but not that much!

I had an idea on the way home to make this better.

Flames? Something about a hot hand?

Unsurprised

No. Just a full title card just as his foot touches the five yard line before he gets nailed.

Senor Weaselo

I knew I should have touched on Scandinavian geography. But I knew a decent number immediately so… we’ll see?

OH AWESOME TELL ME EVERY QUESTION!

I hope you make it

Looks like I only got 31, but hopefully that’s not bad for a first try and that number will go up in future attempts? Maybe?

Oldest Fozz Spawn wants to have girl over friday night to watch his younger brethren.
My wife: “She has problems with her dad.”
Me: “Son, don’t ever date a girl with daddy issues.”
My wife: “Are you talking about me?”
Me: “Ummm.” [Pours beaker of rubbing alcohol. Sets it on fire. Chugs it.]

ballsofsteelandfury

No. Never. Never.

jjfozz

So, no?

BC Dick

If she’s got those and daddy issues he won’t have a chance to resist.

It was a Fletch reference of what you’d say to your wife. Should have worded it better.

Hey, you wanna catch a 100 mph puck with your bare hands, be my guest.
/Also give some love to the right-catching goalies, like all one or two of them!

Senor Weaselo

I, who played first (where else do you stick a left but first, pitcher, and the outfield) would play goalie solely with the glove.

Which made things difficult when I played goalie in our floor hockey unit in gym and there was no glove. And definitely no lefty first baseman’s mitt.

Senor Weaselo

I wasn’t good with my stick yet, being younger than everyone else.

I didn’t know El Senor was one of Jerry’s Kids

I was tossing up the alley-oop and everything…

I prefer it when Americans stick to making weird rule change suggestions to soccer. Leave hockey alone!

Am I alone in thinking it’s insane that McConnell gets to make the rules and not the goddamn Chief Justice of the United States? Not that John Roberts would be any different in terms of making decent rules or allowing witnesses, but it really adds to showing how big a fucking joke our government is to have the jury make the rules.

jjfozz

“I’m worried about Kobe.”
“Why?”
“His life is spinning out of control.”

If you go to /all on reddit and select “New” you are going to lose whatever faith in humanity you had. What in the hell is wrong with people?

jjfozz

Just got banned from Bernie Sanders subreddit. Go eat a shit sandwich you buncha rotting dingleberries.

Gratliff

I can not imagine a reality where I voluntarily view a political subreddit. One can only witness so much verbal analingus at any one time.

jjfozz

My post was basically: “This guy is gonna get curb stomped. Can you give me a reason I should vote for him?” Fucking people are fucking cancer.

Gratliff

Older people aren’t gonna for the most part. Sanders is polling at around 60% for voters under 35 where Biden is under 10. Those numbers flip at 65+. Warren and Bread Mayor are on top of both for the 30 years in between. Both camps’ best strategy would be to spend all their energy dragging those groups to the polls and ignoring changing minds at this point. You’ll never get a practical answer on Reddit between posters showing off their favorite candidate themed vibrators, though.

WCS

It’s so fucking stoopid I’d have to pay $50 a month to watch WVU play hoopsball.

I think there’s a HATE WEEK post in the works…

BC Dick

After all the final game party hate, I have somehow gone from watching the game with two or three sports fan friends to a dozen fans and non-fans in my small living room. Trying to figure out how to fit everyone in now. Hell is here. I am in it.

Game Time Decision

Party at BC Dick’s. Wooohooo

litre_cola

He does make a mean chili and one of his buddy’s weed selection is superb.

Alas I’ll probably have none of those things this Sunday. It’s a classier group than normal. Have to use my dentist office personality.

For those who haven’t seen it yet, Tunison wrote about a lesser known aspect of his ill fortune today.

This made me nauseous. I hope he doesn’t do anything to himself.

Gratliff

It’s rough and the talk around it turning into people demanding he take a stand against the list and movement probably isn’t helping when he’s trying to center himself.

Unsurprised

Liberal feminist writers, some of them full-time reporters, openly advocated social and professional ostracism for *anyone* on the list without knowing the facts and were not challenged by their peers pic.twitter.com/QbK4H98e5c

And then when the lesser-connected ones start getting blacklisted, everyone becomes dumbfounded.

Live by the #cancel, die by the #cancel

Unsurprised

Fuck it. Everything sucks.

BC Dick

And all the spineless, dogmatic fools just went along with it. Like some sort of mob on a hunt. For a… duck. A duck hunt, that’s it!

Unsurprised

Cancel Culture was always centrist liberal shit because real leftists wouldn’t support deplatforming and censorship because, beyond principles, it’s been used against them time and time again for two centuries. Not to say they haven’t been a minority for a while, especially during the Cold War, but they are exhibit #1 that absence of proof is not proof of absence given that there were some large and influential movements and players until it was generally acknowledged – thanks to the Red Scare – to just deny their existence.

Unsurprised

It’s like the AIDS movement slogan: Silence = Death. When you’re a minority, silence in all its forms can and has been the difference between life and death.

BC Dick

It seems inevitable that after having ones ideas suppressed, once they are no longer the suppressed voices They try to suppress any dissent. I believe the way to expose real hatred is putting a light on it, not forcing it into the shadows. And after the Cold War it seems that whole socialist/communist movement has switched to taking over the environmentalist movement as another way to destroy the evil capitalists. Don’t agree? A pox on you, denier. . It’s just a shame that all of them on all sides are horrible, self-interested filth. So I’ll just keep voting Candy.

Xmas Ape: Go on Red Scare

It is getting really annoying to drive around LA and seeing all the Kobe stuff. The buses have “RIP Kobe” on the front signs, the strip clubs have “Mamba Forever” on their electronic billboards, and restaurants have “Kobe forever” specials.

I shit you not.

Brick Meathook

I say the “too soon” limit has passed on Kobe jokes. Hell, there never was a limit. What are the Kobe hotel specials?

Kobe “passing” jokes were low-hanging fruit, but my favorite so far was from SonOfSpam on this very site, how Lamar Odom outlived Kobe. I stole that joke. I made variations and I have spread that joke.

SonOfSpam

It wasn’t a joke. I really am shocked.

Unsurprised

I say the “too soon” limit has passed on Kobe jokes.

Kobe would never pass a dark joke

ballsofsteelandfury

Hell to the NO!

Off the top of my head:

Magic
Kareem
West
Worthy

BC Dick

And Mikan

ballsofsteelandfury

Also true

ballsofsteelandfury

Holy shit! Yes!

litre_cola

Ummm Copperfield.

Magic and Kareem are fine but West and Worthy weren’t better than Kobe.

Then again, arguing about this stuff is what true shithead sports fans do!
