Lesser Footy – Now MOAR Than EVAR

Yes, the action is a bit NFL Pre-season-y.  But you remember Augusts, back in the pre-zombie apocalypse times?  Fucking A right you watched the shit out of your favourite side’s 4th and 5th stringers.

Because to not have sportsball on the teevee box?  Fundamentally un-American.  Even more so than having a fascist President, if I might say so myself.  So we watch, and we gamble, and we forget about the shit-ass world in which we live.

As with fascism, the Krauts are a nation ahead of time.  Check your various Fox Sports-es-es for coverage options.  But hold onto your withered and useless peckers, because the vaunted Premiership returns mid-June.  Just in time for the 47th birthday I will hope to celebrate by being left the fuck alone (some things never change).  But seriously, what a nice treat for us dual-natured Gemini folk.

I may have mentioned this before, but I am the Gemini father of twins, who are also Gemini.  Not that I give two shits for astrology, but I like evidence that God has a sense of humour.  Being God would really suck ass without one, eh?

In 2041, Pretend Man City is scheduled to open David Silva Community Stadium.  Built without public moneys, because Bernard Gilkey wins all the silverware.  I have a Dutch player whose name is “Beleen” which is sommet like a whale secretion.  He’s also a massive cunt (but good, so I keeps).  Thus, he is Whale Vomit.  My Austrian “wonderkid” is all growed up, and I call him Joy Division.  I like a layered joke, given Austria’s fascism footsie plus the late Ian Curtis being a City supporter.  Can ghosts watch me play Footy Manager?  I bet Ian would be proud.  He’d also call me a fookin’ cunt.  Because he was awesome like that.

Sadly, I had to move Mr. Marcus on his merry way, but he showed up on my timeline – injuring one of my loaned-out players in training.  Sometimes he’s just too big for his own good, you know?

My best player is a Croat named Elvis.  I shit thee not.  There is also a Bosnian in the squadron, though I had to get shed of my Serb centre-half (fucking flake and a half).  I was waiting for dressing room genocide.

Enjoy your various weekend non-activities.  In’shallah.

Wow. The Chicago stormtroopers still have those sky blue helmets. Brand loyalty!

yeah right

I’m spending Saturday in my favorite new fashion. Trip to the grocery store and then straight to the kitchen. It’s the little things.

“MAGA Loves Black People” – Trump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGPsBgkbdBU&t=21s

When did I wake up in the 1960s?

Conservative Radio and viewers may be getting better, though. They are now openly agreeing the Milwaukee cops commented an obvious crime and are openly questioning why the guy only got 3rd Degree Murder and Manslaughter Charges. Its almost like watching early humans cooking food with fire for the first time.

Though, we are questioning why private property and stores are being destroyed and looted. Courthouses, police stations and city halls? Sure, that represents the system that failed them. But how does destroying a neighborhood bar or looting a store for TVs help?

I’m only asking because I’m agreeing with them, so I’m going to you guys, much like a recovering alcoholic calling their sponsor to ensure they don’t go off the wagon.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m certainly not supporting the destruction and looting of local businesses (even though I did helpfully suggest a method of setting the White House on fire below) – what I, and I presume lots of people like me are saying is that we *understand* why they are doing it. Given the massive unemployment and the federal government’s unwavering commitment to keeping the stock market juiced as opposed to actually providing a legitimate roadmap to rebuild the American economy, it’s to be expected that an incident like the Floyd murder is going to cause people to lash out. As Mango himself put it: “what do they have to lose?”

Redshirt

All I’m saying is that Trump has a tower in Chicago and a Golf Club in LA, I doubt the Secret Service covers it as well as the White House and knowing Trump it was made out of the cheapest, most flammable materials.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The cops did protect the locations of large corporations, just left blocks of small businesses go.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You make a very good point. And I bet the clubhouses of those golf courses are very, VERY flammable.

Dunstan

You and your right-wing talk radio friends are “arguing” against an opponent who doesn’t exist.

The people who are smashing shit and/or looting are not taking logical measures towards a social goal. They are some combination of (a) angry people just looking for any excuse; (b) people who got angry over this particular shit; and (c) paid shit-disturbers trying to provoke riots to serve their own agenda.

There is nobody out there who believes that there is a logical connection between “smash this Target store window and steal stuff” and “social justice.” You are not pointing out some error in their analysis, some Underpants Gnome missing syllogism that will cause them to say “oh gosh, you’re right! We were so stupid! There are better ways to achieve social justice! Thank you, wise conservative! Perhaps there is something to this ‘logic’ thing you speak of!”

It’s the equivalent of me asking “why do conservatives parade around in Confederate flags and then wonder why black people don’t like conservatives? There are much better ways to win over black people!” Well, you’d explain patiently to me, the conservatives who parade around in Confederate gear really aren’t trying to win over black voters. They’re doing it because they like it. Other conservatives want to win over black voters, but they’re not the ones clutching the Stars and Bars.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Well said! There is also the mob mentality that takes over when ANY large group begins to be violent as a group. These is a lot of available study on this, which right-wing conservative Radio and viewers completely ignore; not surprising considering their agenda.

Japanese fetish porn is very weird. Whatever revs your engine, I guess.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You are more judgemental than Hippo. Everybody’s fetish porn can be termed weird. Besides, just someone trying to cheat at croquet by distraction…. which is against the rules.

Maybe you two could do a column judging a particular fetish; first one then the other’s review and condemning judgement?

Canadia has him and Johnathan David. They are both unreal and may be enough for us to get the 4th spot in Concacaf depending on what shady FIFA does.

Dear White House protesters,
I don’t think it would be that hard to use one of these to launch balloons filled with gasoline followed by a molotov cocktail or two. Just in case you are trying to figure out how to spend your Saturday night.

https://www.amazon.com/300-Yard-Balloon-Slingshot-Cannon-Launcher/dp/B00AL57GEW

ArmedandHammered

Yeah, but the snipers posted around the White House would not make it worth your while. I have heard, that there is a team of snipers constantly posted around the White House. Not sure if true, but it would not surprise me at all.

Viva La Tabula Raza

One thing though: Trump would have bragged about those snipers on his twitter account by now. He wouldn’t be able to contain himself. Or maybe the SS hasn’t told him they’re up there on the roof for that very reason.

ArmedandHammered

They probably never told him, since as paranoid as he is, he would be scared that one was a damn democrat who would take him out.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, I’m sure there are. At least right now there are.

Brick Meathook

Oh yeah there are snipers and observation posts surrounding the White House, always manned but doubled-up (or more) when needed. There are .50 caliber machine gun posts. I used to shoot pool with a WH limo driver (we called him Fast Eddy and he was a character) who told me that in a presidential motorcade there are big SUVs that contain a lot of things, including two of them are .50 caliber gun-ships. So yeah, they’re packing some iron around the White House. However, they say the most effective crowd control is Park Police horses.

I am two hours into a three hour simmer of Cincinnati-style chili, and my household smells amazing. I know “C-style” gets made fun of around here, but I don’t really care. I first had this dish at Hard Times Cafe in Alexandria Virginia and I like it. Everyone posts that stupid picture of Skyline chili looks like a bowl of cheddar cheese, or those two guys with bibs. Who cares. This is classic American Depression-era Greek diner food and it is amazing.

If they invent internet Smell-O-Vision or Odor-Rama, you would be offering me hundreds of dollars for more.

ballsofsteelandfury

I liked it when I made it. I still have a can or two around in my kitchen.

yeah right

I had a great experience with my own recipe. Fucking UCLA man!

Fronkenshteen

Wikipedia says the original recipe called for the noodles to be cooked in the chili. Why’d they stop?!

Brick Meathook

I can’t even imagine that. It’s like a bolognese sauce, poured over spaghetti (with the option of beans, cheese, and onions) to make it go farther, because the Depression.

Fronkenshteen

Peasant food, baby! Makes me want to throw hay bales around, or some fucking thing. And I WOULD, if I wouldn’t get so itchy.

I’m half a man.

scotchnaut

Hey, my walk today lasted all of 20 minutes because *boohoo* my feet hurt. I don’t even deserve body hair.

scotchnaut

I’m not going to make fun of Brick for cooking Cincy-style chili-it’s probably the best way to use up every part of the raccoon.

Brick Meathook

I use 1 lb ground turkey, ½ lb ground beef, ½ lb ground pork. No raccoon.

ArmedandHammered

I tried it at the Hard Times Cafe that was here in Raleigh (not sure if it is still around), but it really didn’t work for me, but that is my taste. I hope it tastes as great as it smells!

Brick Meathook

I don’t understand why people bust on Cincy Chili, particularly if they’ve never had it. Food chauvinism is wrong and hateful. All chili styles are good, except for Texas chili because it’s so fucking gay.
