Well, it IS Autumn in Australia. One of the only nations which still has enough cojones to still play sports. Don’t get me wrong though. They’re taking precautions.
But they’re playing. At least so far.
As most of you know I’ve been filling in foar the lovely and talented Balls Of Steel and Fury this season on the AFL Beat. I mean if he’s going to be a lazy fuck and not do his job then someone has to.
Which brings up an aside…
California is going down. I always thought it would eventually just kinda slide off the San Andreas fault into the Pacific Ocean. And I kinda wanted to be there to see that and go down with it. No, no, not go down like that. Ummmm…. well let’s not rule anything out.
However… I don’t like seeing things go like they have been. Be it in California or anywhere else. But life happens and we deal with it. Having an emotional escape is helpful. For most of us here we do it with sports. We all like different sports, different teams, and we give each other shit about it. Daily.
But we’ve kinda lost that for now. I mean we still give each other good-natured shit. But losing the temporary escape of sporting events kinda sucks.
SO GO WATCH THE AUSSIE RULES FOOTBALL!!!!!

The AFL Women are ramping up to their Premiership Playoffs. The AFL Men get started on the regular season this weekend.
Shit. That means Imma have to write a lotta shit the next coupla weeks I guess. DAMMIT BALLS!!!!!!
But seriously, it is the beginning of Autumn in Australia. And everyone should have footbawl at the beginning of Autumn. They get that down under. We’ll see what happens in six months in the northern hemisphere.
I really do want to see Tom Brady behind Tampa Bay’s offensive line, by the way. I’m already giggling.
But tonight we’re doing…
Wait what are we doing again? Shit, I forgot. OK, we’ll figure it out as we go.

Sports In The Northern Hemisphere 2Nite
There’s been a lot of “free agency movement” in the NFL. BeerGuyRob has kept you apprised of the goings on this week here, here, here and here. I certainly cannot do a better job rounding it all up than he has.
But as far as actual sprts, it’s a lean time folks.

Now, Miranda Kerr
Born: 20 April, 1983 (36 y.o.), Sydney, Australia.
She’s a huge fan of Collingwood. And she be pretty cute. Good accent too.
I would buy dinner for her. Hell, I’d buy her a fucking house. But she has moar money than me anyway.
MIRANDA WHERE IS MY HOUSE???????
And I bet that given enough time I could turn her into a Geelong fan. But even if not… Well, never mind. She kinda pertty.
Enjoy… ( you Bogans )
((look it up))
Yup, the surf is definitely up. Oh wait, that’s not the surf.
Have a nice weekend everyone. Be kind to one another. Unless they’re assholes, then cut ’em out.
Tell those whom you love that you love them.
And wash your hands.
Love ya’s.

So much for the tWBS boost…
It’s been a long day. I fell asleep. Now Imma get drunk. And then probably fall asleep again. Or technically I guess that should be called “pass out”.
Wow, my tolerance is shot
This just in: Laura Ingraham is still a useful idiot.
Surfing and Polka. Life can be good.

I love watching the AFL on the Watch AFL app because you get to see all the Australian commercials. So much better than ours.
“Dingo ate your baby? No problem! Come on down to Uncle Cunty’s Baby Emporium! We got your white babies, black babies, chinese babies (currently out of stock), and, you guessed it, no aboriginal babies! Cause we killed them all!”
Genius.
Man, I thought Midnight Oil fixed all them aboriginal problems. Especially after their lead singer became minister of the environment.
I thought he auto-erotic-asphyxiated himself, because apparently that feels good.
I bet they didn’t actually snuff em. Madonna came out of there not a day ago with a bakers dozen of the trendiest tots around.
I’d like to get one of them aboriginal babies, at least for a couple of days. Show it off around town.
I get this game on tsn. Weird with nae fans.
Sweden vs Switzerland from last years women’s world curling championships is on there too.
TWBS and Miranda Kerr are good luck for the Pies. They’re currently ahead by ten at the half in their AFLW semi final.
Go pies! I like to pick the crows and pies because I have them birds in my back yard.
Something you either want to hear, or really don’t want to hear.
Oh wow. I didn’t even do that on purpose.
Good time to relax now, gals and fellas

Dang, I was expecting Frankie Goes to Hollywood when I refreshed the screen to see your Youtube.
The video game?
I’d actually never heard of them. You’re my first! Now I guess I have to acquaint myself.
Ohh. Ok now I get it. Didn’t take much acquaintancing to figure that one out.
PokerStars’ download link is currently broken. I won’t be joining tonight.
AVENGE ME!!
chuh chuh
Sounds like y’all need to start a Final Fantasy 14 Free Company instead
Keep trying. Their system has some terrible delays lately.
It’s saying the link is missing. I’ll keep at it, but, don’t wait for me.
https://www.pokerstars.uk/client/download/
No luck.
Still not working? THANX OBUMMER
AVENGE it is. You’ll be proud by dawn.

Now a new Reich full of Nazi vampires has risen with support from the Vatican and is flying in a giant Zeppelin to invade London where the vampire hunters who are partnered with the main vampire are headquartered. Imagine not loving anime. Couldn’t be me.
Is this something I should know about? Sounds like maybe.. Links or details, please, when it’s convenient for you. Thank you.

Senk yoo. Will investigate.
Evening, lizard people.
Greeting, fellow shut-ins.
POKER??
we have 3 already, looking for 4+
I’m using wifey’s computer, so I’d have to download it, and re-register. Gonna be a few minutes.
Now working through Hellsing Ultimate, which is a show about a vampire with guns, which is obviously going to be good

Apparently, they’re doing WrestleMania at WWE’s gym in Florida with no crowd. That’s some wild shit. That’s like having the Super Bowl in a middle school park.
It would look pretty fucking cool if they went the full Mad Max post-apocalypse theme and held it in the L.A. Coliseum.
That’s why you lift them weights. That’s why you spend all them hours practicing. That’s why you spill that blood and shed them tears.
It’s for the dead silence that surrounds you. It makes you whole.
It sounds like that’s how the WWE shows have been the past few weeks. AEW had a nice twist on it where they had all the staff and talent in the front row betting on the matches.
Trying to get some poker going tonight. I will note that PokerStars seems to be acting a little wonky currently, so we’ll see how things go – however, if you wanna play, I’m currently around.
It might take you 5-10 minutes to successfully log in, but be patient!
Never once have I got a log in in under 10 minutes.
“Have you ever heard of Planet of the Apes?”
“The movie or the planet?”
I’m gaining weight like the stupid piece of shit I am. So I have that going for me.
But I want to get beer and more cheese and bread because life is short anyway
Keep it up. You will be able to live a little longer on the stored fat, after civilization collapses later this year.
Stuck home with fuckall to do, endless time to ride my exercise bike.
But I would still rather not.
Continuing low level pain due to the foot surgery remains my go-to excuse for not getting back on the stationary bike. Even the surgeon said it would be ok when I last visited a couple weeks ago. I like Scotch and Rum better than exercise.
Called up the local packy to see if they were still operating normal opening hours. No answer. This is a local non-chain place, east coast style (shelves go to the ceiling instead of shoulder height), and I think that it’s a Witness Protection gig for the New York guy dat runs da place. Two minutes later, number calls back, it’s him, assuring me they will be open till 9 tonight and regular hours tomorrow. Decided fuck it, who knows what tomorrow will bring, went on down to his place and added to my apocalypse booze stash. Costs about 5 bucks more than when I buy the same thing at the chain, but dude gives me Military discount, and started carrying my preferred daily-drinking rum at my request, so he gets my money.
The thing that really pisses me off about this is that I’ve been “quarantined” for 3 months because of my foot surgery, and just now am becoming pretty much completely ambulatory, and I’m stuck in the fucking house again. Word is that two people in the building I work in are infected. It’s a quarter-mile long building, and they were from the agency at the far end of the building, but people “work out” by walking up and down the central hall, so who the fuck knows if I was exposed or not.
My guy came by this afternoon and left me a full oh zee and some Xanax for sleep aid, and because I had just heard about the cases in my bldg, I told him not to come in the house and left the cash out in the garage and he swapped for what I had ordered.
I guess Pearl Harbor day, and I know that 9/11, changed the complexion of this country’s society immensely. I think it’s gonna happen again now. Hope the end result isn’t Mad Max world.
Whoa, I read Packy and was very confused. (nawt raycess) Colloquialism definition plz.
Packy, package store. SE Massachusetts term. Not Paki, racist disparagement. Did not mean to sow confusion, my apologies.
Yeah man. Where is this French gallon fellow’s head to go right there. It’s a shame these days it still happens.
Heard he’s a dodgers and steelers fan, too. Those are both criminal acts almost. You do the math.
Plus, it’s been called the packy up there at least since Prohibition ended, so the term is 15 years older than the actual country of Pakistan.
Plus Apu is from India, he’d choke a bitch for calling him a Paki (ppl forget that)
“Damn Norwegian tourists.”
Underrated band.
“Yep, still there.”
LET’S POKER YE CHUCKLEFUCKS!!!
/also, here is Brandon Perna going through medium-advanced delirium:

That is what one would call “aggressive whitey dancing.”
Watched Red River this morning. Touch of Evil in the afternoon. I could do retirement no problem until my inevitable burial in a piano box.
