I worked four out of the five days last week at home. It’s wonderful. I can really get used to it.
I do have to wake up early, as usual. However, I do not have to:
- Get out of bed
- Put pants on
- Drive on crowded freeways and streets to work
Actually, I am now able to do the following things that I was never able to do before:
- Drink water often and pee whenever I want.
- Grab any kind of snack, hot or cold, that I want whenever I want.
- Conduct business in my underwear.
That last bullet is my favourite thing about this working at home thing. I am literally in a t-shirt and underwear all day and I call people, participate in Zoom meetings, and otherwise do every work task I need to do in my undies.
It’s magnificent.

The Week in DFO
Here are the things I read in DFO this week that reminded me how much I love this site:
One of these days I’m going to click on “18 Holes with Natalie Gulbis” and not be disappointed.

The DFO comedic shaping of my 8 year old continues afoot, as he is now a fan of both Burnistoun and MXC Monday. Cheers, lads!

There’s a couple of dumpster fires in the neighborhood, so any Jets fans who miss their team should just turn on the local news.

The most poignant quote linking everything together came from NBA legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar
That’s why he’s the co-pilot.

Ok, so COVID, Ebola’s comin back, giant asteroid’s on the way, murder hornets, cane toads, just had an earthquake…I think God wants me to stop blowing goats. Sorry everyone.

Lindsey Graham gonna get outed this weekend. Lady G deserves every bit of this. Hateful bitch.

Do I care that he’s (probably) gay? No
Do I care if he’s an asshole? Absolutely.
Sharkbait
But do you care about his asshole?
Also, tell me how a Senator is going to be outed in the future.
Brick
Am hearing alot of Bears Otter and Twinks got paid to care about his asshole.

Would you have enjoyed it more if it was?

Dear god yes.
Not that I would have been any more competent with the (Jerry Lewis voice) LADIES, but at least the scenery would have been better.

See I can’t be racist because the first time I ever had feelings for someone was Toni Braxton in the “Unbreak My Heart” video. Uncle Ed thought Tyson Beckford looked like ‘that Seal guy without the fucked up face’ though.

tWBS has a boner right now.

This makes sense, given that he has probably been reunited with his first pet, which was a sheep.

Childhood Buddy: “Where’s tWBS?”
Other Buddy: “I think he’s on the lamb.”
Childhood Buddy: “Again? He needs another hobby.”

Well, this thread took a ewe turn…

Here’s this week’s Balls’ Choice from Request Line:

Thank you to everyone one for providing quality laughs and gifs/pics to look at. Time for me to get back to work…
Have a great week!
Can anyone give me their opinion of Tame Impala? I’m not talking zoo-wise, I’m talking music-wise.
They fucking rule.
Bark Greathank’s mention of Basmati rice reminded me of an amazing dish that a girlfriend’s father made for special occasions. It involved tough cuts of meat, beef marrow, basmati rice, butter, potatoes and a long, slow cooking time. He called it “My Basmati Dish”. I’ve never been able to find the exact recipe online.

This is the *chef’s kiss* of responses.
I have also heard that “My Basmati Dish” is a very hot woman from Shimla who is a girlfriend for the moment.
Today I bought two pounds of Basmati rice and some Wonder “Ready-Mix” flour (good for sauces and gravies) because they’ve both been sold out down at the local Ralphs for quite a while now.
Also, apparently the United States is currently sold out of shotguns.
They warned me that if Barack Obama got a second term, Americans wouldn’t be able to buy shotguns any more. AND THEY WERE RIGHT!
Can someone kick me in the shins repeatedly until I finish uploading the pictures I need for the extremely delayed House of Pain? Please and thanks.
Best I can do on such short notice.
This afternoon in the Icelandic League Cup, IG Hafnarfjordur is hosting Berserkir.

Yes, I have bet them with same thought in mind previous-like.
One of these days I’m going to have to write a review of Captain Marvel and how I somehow never realized that Brie Larson ever seemed as cute as she does in that above gif.
Following along with social media discussions on race relations today
One of the many reasons why I read/follow TPM, and nothing else in the meeee-jia (Brit speak). Except for MSNBC when following election returns. Steve Kornacki is one bad muthafucka.
This was more a reference to the QAnon psychopaths who spend all day replying to people with things like “There’s never been any evidence of a racist police officer in the history of this great country” between attempts to have ICE raid the nearest Taco Bell from the office of the John Deere dealership their brother-in-law lets them answer the phones at
Also, I’d been meaning to make a “The Q is talking to me!” gif, so that gave me an excuse
It’s quality fo sho. Hard to wrap one’s mind around the Q phenomenon. I stand by the “rule of 10′ where you can get like 10% of the population to believe pretty much anything.
I have absolutely no idea what you people are talking about.
It’s better that way
Cheeto reposts.
I don’t care how old you are. That’s a problem.
True.
1) Buddy channeling uncle Ed is always such gold.
2) I refuse to learn about the murder hornets. My nightmares are shit enough as is.
3) yes, I wholly WASP-judge and shame anal candling.
Casual Fridays are getting a little out of control at Import Tuxedo Emporium.
Her desk chair is always missing on Monday.
You can’t go in to work unclothed like that. Come on, put a mask on, we’re in a pandemic here!
Perfection!!
Was posted by somebody else leading into a discussion about Sedaris being the newer version of Russ Meyer.
Really? I thought for sure it was you…
It was Brick. I’ll correct.
The nipples are not prominent enough; the director should have had an assistant apply ice.
New John Oliver-Last Week Tonight is good.
Just remember…if your boss ever figures out how effective you are from working from home, its an easy jump to the realization that some peon working from home in Mumbai could do the same, for a shit-ton less money.
God bless capitalism…
Luckily, I work for a government agency so if that were to happen it would be kinda embarrassing for them…
We’re long past government agencies feeling any shame or embarrassment.
Indeed, Ronald Reagan directed most of them to do so.
