Your “Jeebus It’s Friday The 13th Again?!?!?” Friday Evening Open Thread

See, this wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for the stupid leap year thing.  Criminy.

I’ve got a lot to say.  But I’m not gonna.

Leap year can go suck my nuts.

As can Covid-19.

I’m not dead.  I have food.  And water.  I just put some plants in the ground.  I have shotgun shells.

But the world has still screwed my life up royally.  And I am not happy.  Meh fuck it.

Sports Which No Longer Exist 2Nite

NBA

  • Washington @ Boston – 7:30pmEDT – TV: NBATV
  • Brooklyn @ LAC – 10:30pmEDT – TV: NBATV

Full Schedule

NHL

San Jose @ St. Louis – 8:00pmEDT – TV: NHLN

Full Schedule

NCAA BB

* Yes, I typed all of that a few nights ago before the whole world got cancelled.

I’m supposed to be in Florida right now drinking beer and watching the Orioles lose horribly.  But I suppose I can take solace in the ability to say the Orioles didn’t lose today.

  • NBA – Suspended indefinitely.
  • NHL – Suspended indefinitely.
  • MLB – Spring Training go buh bye.  We’ll see what happens a day or two before opening day.
  • NCAA BB – Conference Tourneys and NCAA Tourney Cancelled.
  • Soccer – Gone.  This might be the one silver lining.  Yes you can yell at me foar that one but I had to take the shot.
  • The Masters – Yep, that’s gone too.
  • Boston Marathon? – Postponed for now.  Don’t get your hopes up.  Then again, fuck Boston.
  • WxSW and Coachella Music Festivals – Buh Bye.
  • Pearl Jam and Green Day? – Both cancel tours, among other acts.
  • Broadway Plays? – Nope.  They’re gone too.
  • St. Patrick’s Day? – Low Commander is gonna have to drink himself to death at home this year.

Yeah, forget about all that shit up there.

Am I still allowed to jerk off or what?  Because that’s about all there is left!!!!!!!

(and I’m too damned old to do it with anyone but myself)

OK, Here’s Some Pertty Girls

They might need food or water, so be kind.

If they ask for toilet paper, tread carefully.

Enjoy…

I WAS IN THE POOL!!!!!!!

Ok, say what you want tonight.  Just be respectful of one another.

Life sucks right now.  Fuck it.

I can helps. What civ you playing with which settings at what level?

Sharkbait

Scotland, at Settler. It’s been years since Ive played Civ, so re-learning what makes them all tick and best ways to succeed has been interesting.

Doktor Zymm

You really have to customize play style to the civ you’re playing. That said, settler is fuckin easy. Play around with all the different civs, learn the strengths and which victory type is best for which civ, then crank it up. Scotland is interesting, I would call them medium diffculty. I’ve been on a Kupe kick

I don’t want to sound unsympathetic or anything because we need to be pulling each other all through this.

AND

The bombardment of “and don’t forget our non-elderly victims of this: those with weak autoimmune systems who might not want to talk about it; the hospitality workers losing their hours; etc, etc.” Yeah, I know but during a pandemic is not the time we figure this shit out. You know that election coming up? ESPECIALLY THE CONGRESSIONAL ONES? Fucking elect people who prepare for this shit. The CDC get a billion dollars a years this dick is just wasting that money by putting his corrupt toxicity all over the government.

Fucking Pence is out there jerking off their biggest corporate donors WHO AREN’T EVEN DOING A GOOD JOB to the entire nation IN THE EYE OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC THEY ARE FAILING TO PERFORM DURING simply because they give Trump big money for this power AND advertising.

So go fucking get rid of these assholes. We can’t have anything nice under these pricks. It’s an absolutely horrible way to live, stock market drops be dammed.

ballsofsteelandfury

So fucking true.

Doktor Zymm

Yep, but given US politics this means at very most a 50/50 senate

Redshirt

With Trump not getting himself tested after being exposed to the Coronavirus, history of not listening to people’s advice and shaking everyone’s hands at the press conference, I think if we give it time, this thing may sort itself out.

Doktor Zymm

People keep saying that, but if Trump does die, then what? Pence will probably be dead or sick also, and while we can go down the list of succession, everyone is older and therefore at risk, plus this close to an election people are going to be more cautious about stepping into power if they don’t think they could keep it

Doktor Zymm

We’re so close to getting a temporary anarchy (which could be ok) or a true strongman (which wouldn’t be ok at all)

Unsurprised

The universe is not going to let us off that easily. It’s going to slowly and cruelly kill us because the universe doesn’t give a fuck.

If you want real change in this country WE NEED TO DO BETTER THAN THIS.

I’m keeping myself entertained by coming up with new conspiracy theories. My latest: Covid-19 is a ploy to increase birth rates in people of fertile age via quarantine! Is it a coincidence that it mostly kills people past reproductive age ???

You didn’t hear the one about the virus being a Chinese bioweapon that escaped from a Wuhan lab?

Doktor Zymm

Nah, it escaped from a Japanese lab, liberated by accident by some PETA whale folk

Doktor Zymm

Hey, i’ll eat an octopus while it tries to strangle me no matter what the planetniks say!

Doktor Zymm

True talk, octopus is probably the only animal I legit feel bad about eating, even if it issuper tasty

ballsofsteelandfury

D licious.

But honestly, it is something that needs to be cooked correctly. Badly cooked and it’s horrible.

Doktor Zymm

This. Badly done it’s rubbery as shit. Correctly done it’s like God melting in your mouth

Unsurprised

China is saying it was an American bioweapon released at the Military Games (which is a real thing, it seems).

Game Time Decision

Oldest GTD said this is the beginning of the “Handmaid’s tale “

Doktor Zymm

Better or worse than ‘The Stand’?

Both suck, but I guess the stand is better?

I actually had an investment strategy that was vaguely based around that. I’ve got another one, though – see above.

So, I hate to be the contrarian (yeah, I know, I really love it), but I think we’re missing the big picture with all this talk about the virus and society collapsing and the world coming to an end.

I had a really good day today.

Traffic was light. It rained buckets in LA, which we very much need. Call me whatever you want, but there’s always something positive that comes out of perceived negatives.

I’d agree with you, HOWEVAH, I’m down to 1 (one) roll of toilet paper.

Ohio Governor just made the casinos close. They never close.

Unsurprised

The county just closed all the libraries. Yesterday the governor cancelled every gathering of over 250 people. The MLS/NWSL season is toast (no one noticed). Walking home from the train station the city seemed even more deserted than normal. I lucked out on stocking up and even if I don’t, I’m a big boy. I can stand to lose some weight.

I hope my older neighbors are okay. They’re the closest people I have in this city. I just have a brother. My friends are in other towns with small kids. I don’t worry about myself. I worry about everyone else.

Why hasn’t anyone demanded Pence and the Cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment. I know that Pelosi and Schumer and all them don’t care because they’re unaffected and everyone they personally know will be, but the rest of the world is going to fucking suffer and die because we’re being led through a crisis by the last person in the world who should be.

Viva La Tabula Raza

We’re all going to die, sooner or late, but many are going to die sooner than they/we should. It’s fucked up, I know, but there you go. With Trump as President, we are all simply Jews in cattle cars headed to Poland.

blaxabbath

Big if true.

SonOfSpam

25th Amendment proceedings have to start within the Cabinet, so it has nothing to do with EVIL ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS (who have, you know, IMPEACHED the asshole).

Pelosi has absolutely done what she can vis-a-vis Trump. Schumer’s lame, but has zero authority in the Senate.

Unsurprised

They can make demands.

Brick Meathook

Demands??? They impeached him and lost. They can’t demand shit. Pelosi and Shumer are losers, like the Buffalo Bills or the Atlanta Falcons.

Unsurprised

That is the real problem. They blew their wad and in the dumbest, worst way possible. It was always a loser, but they … Fuck it. Now it’s all fucked.

This is where we are headed. I’ve been told in the past that I both physically and temperamentally resemble the Night Rider. I guess that is both cool and fucked up.

Hey good news! I was sniffling and feverish and I was certain I had the Corona virus, so I went and got tested and guess what? Turns out I only have the clap! Must have been that time I regained consciousness in a shopping cart in an alley in Gaytown with no idea how I got there and no underpants either. I didn’t think much of it at the time but now I’m wondering what really happened. Oh well, I’m so glad I don’t have that filthy loser virus.

SonOfSpam

Oh that reminds me. I’ll mail you your empty wallet on Monday.

And god help you if you gave me the clap while you were unconscious.

She’s awesome and ain’t afraid of nothin. Wanna see her in the Senate someday.

Viva La Tabula Raza

White House would work for me too, although a policy wonk as President may be problematic. Still, love them steel ovaries at work.

SonOfSpam

And so many men (and women!) are afraid of strong women. She would be a nightmare for the assholes in this country (like Mike Pence but less literally). It’s why I wanted Warren.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Too many are just plain afraid of women, strong or not. We are in the end stages of civilization. I’m just glad I got to see the best of the progressive movement, and as a student of history, I guess I should be glad that I get to live through how fucked up things can be, which is where I am sure is where we are headed. Let’s be honest, we’ve been in a low-grade civil war for a couple of decades at least.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Haven’t been by here in a couple of days, figured what’s the point of a sports blog when there are no sports? But I knew I’d probably find some interesting stories here. Mine goes like this (disclaimer: may not be interesting):
Worked from home today, took a couple hours to go shopping. I’ve been getting HEB delivery since my foot surgery, and it has worked out pretty well for me. Only a couple of times were the items I ordered not available, and only a couple of times were the deliveries later than the scheduled time.
But today I figured things might be fucked up, so I took the plunge and headed over to the grocery, around 11 AM. Figured if shit was not available, I would choose my own substitutes as opposed to whatever they decided on when I ordered online for delivery.
Parking lot was full, took a few minutes to find a parking space, and of course it was a fucking zoo in the store. Amazingly, the only thing they didn’t have on the shelf that I needed was them Hanover Butter Snap pretzels I crowed about here a week or two ago, but they are out of stock half the fucking time anyway. Water, milk, soda, eggs, tortillas, etc, everything was available, though you had to trip over the shelf-stockers continually. I can hang with that.
Liquor store still well stocked, loaded up enough hard liquor to see me through the weekend, anyway. Old buddy of mine came by on Wednesday, he brought me 3 bottles of 20+ year old Barolo that he can no longer drink due to health reasons but doesn’t want to give away to his mooching sons/sons-in-law. Good wine, hope it isn’t corked. Will find out Sunday.
Got my car inspected, registration paid, gas tank filled, dog prescriptions picked up. I’m good for at least a couple of weeks, as long as the power doesn’t go out.
Lots of email traffic from work. Lots of prep for getting everyone ready to telework. All travel for my command (USAF Installation & Management Support Center) cancelled until April 15, unless absolutely mission critical and you can justify it to the 2-star equivalent SES guy that runs our agency. The latest is that they want my branch to do one week telework, one week in office, so the place isn’t a ghost town. Not sure how I am going to approach this, since I’ve been teleworking for 3 months straight and only returned to the office for my first full day there this past Monday.
Favorite observation of the day: on an average visit to HEB, you will see at least two or three MAGA ballcaps on a regular day. Today, with hundreds of people in the store, I didn’t see fucking one. Went to my local wine bar for a couple hours, of course you know what everyone was talking about. But even the Trump Felchers were pretty subdued; I was hard put not to do some rubbing in of it. New re-election campaign slogan: “Make America Dead Again.”
I haven’t had the balls to look at my Thrift Savings Plan (Fed Govt 401K, essentially) balance in the last month, but if 2008 was any indication, at age 60 it looks like I’m now going to have to work until the day I die. At least the pay is good for now as a GS-13 Step 10.
REM song keeps playing on continuous loop in my head. You know which one.
This is the other one that’s on continuous for me. I wish they would put this movie out on the DVD:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uZOQEQmkO0&list=TLPQMTQwMzIwMjDthZxDpO0YkQ&index=2

“Aside from that, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?”

litre_cola

Let me know how that Barolo is.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I can’t wait. But I’m not going to drink them by myself; going to visit the guy who helped me out immensely in various and sundry ways during my surgery recovery and share it with him and his wife.

Gratliff

Hey, if we’re gonna make Joe the leader of the free-by-some-measure-I-guess world, maybe someone needs to get in there and start Weekend At Bernie’s 3 early. Of course, there’s the very real possibility that the virus goes through the federal government like wildfire, so it could be moot.

ArmedandHammered

Only way we will get rid of the old as fuck Congress members.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I was kind of saddened when I saw that Trump has finally cancelled or rescheduled some of his Nuremberg rallies. I had kind of hoped that if he kept holding them, it might thin the herd somewhat.

And my parents are 80, that’s a huge worry for me. I can’t go see them because my youngest is sick, and the doc said don’t even risk it. Fuck. And today’s drive into Baltimore…it was atrocious. People can’t drive, they should be pulled out of their cars and crucified. Where’s my fucking drink?

Gratliff

With Michigan being off for 3 weeks, was thinking about taking my kid up north to spend a few weeks with his grandparents. Of course, then I remembered that his mom is a paramedic in Flint, and it would probably be ill-advised to deliver my son to their doorstep like a small pox-laced blanket, and not just because they’re Native American.

Viva La Tabula Raza

My dad’s 83, my mom turns 80 on St Paddy’s day next week. Fortunately, they live way the fuck out in the countryside (nearest HEB or Walmart is 40 miles), so their isolation works in their favor. I’m not even gonna go visit for mom’s birthday, thought I am sure it’s safe. (Other problem is right foot still hurting from surgery, don’t want to do 2+ hours on curvy roads where cruise control is not an option).

jjfozz

And another thing, shit is so quiet around where I live. It’s eerie. I made some noise by banging my nuts on a hollow metal garbage can. That worked, for awhile.

And I am still unable to post a video from YouTube on this goddamn site. i have a master’s in marketing, how can I not do this? Am I fucking dumb? Has the bourbon rotted my cortex? Is Scott Baio even listening to my muttered curses?

The Bunker is full of liquor, beer, a shotgun, shells, and oh yeah, food. I’m ashamed of my country and how the fuckwits in charge handled this. Also, every person at my office today had taken a full does of asshole pills. I’m going outside to punch a tree.
