Your “Different Belly Rubs Brings Different Scrutiny” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets:

  • Apparently they are still looking into the Robert Kraft case, as the Florida Appeals Court had a hearing today about the constitutionality of the search warrants. 
    • Deputy Solicitor General Jeffrey DeSousa pleaded his case today that the lower court rulings should be thrown out and the recording obtained by those warrants should be permitted at trial.
      • He argued that the court should look at the language of the Fourth Amendment, and was then asked by the judges whether he wanted them to ignore Supreme Court precedent.
        • So…it didn’t go well.
  • Julian Edelman has drunk the Cam Kool-Aid, as he attempted to tweet a welcome in Cam’s signature Wingdings font.

  • Ron Rivera wants no part of the current [Redacteds] name controversy.
    • “I think that’s a discussion for another time,” he said during a radio interview.
    • He also added that the team’s name was “always part of football” when he was growing up, firmly putting himself on the side of the traditionalists.

As you all know, Carl Reiner died today, aged 98.

Everyone has their own favourite film or program he was a part of. Please celebrate your in the comments; I’mma leave this one here.

In this vein, I’d also like to nominate the dogs watching Mr. Martin as today’s internet “good dogs”.

Tonight’s … entertainment?:

  • Top Rank Boxing on ESPN – 8:00PM | ESPN
    • Saucedo-Fredrickson (junior welterweights)
      • Alex Saucedo (29-1, 19 KOs) vs. Sonny Fredrickson (21-2, 14 KOs) in a junior-welterweight main event in Las Vegas.
  • ESPN’s Greatest All-Time Baseball Team – 8:00 PM | ESPNU
    • Analysts debate baseball’s greatest players at each position.
  • WWE Survivor Series 2018: From Los Angeles –  7:00 PM | FS1
    • Brock Lesnar met AJ Styles and Ronda Rousey faced Becky Lynch as Raw and SmackDown champs collided in the 32nd Survivor Series in Los Angeles.

I’ll see you guys in a few days. It’s summer vacation & WineWife has a few days off, so we are going…somewhere. Honestly, I just want to drive a couple of hours away from home & just look at a different view for a few hours. I haven’t left the city since Spring Break, and it will be nice to just drive. Enjoy your Canada & Independence Days, and I’ll see you next week.

As Seamus would say, luv yas.

Hey, you know who’s getting his full MLB salary this year? Bobby Bonilla.

And his base salary is higher than Cam Newton’s!

Gumbygirl

Does he get paid in perpetuity? I know there was a ridiculous deal done back in the day, but Bonilla hasn’t been near the field in dog years. He was an asshole as a Pirate. So was his wife. My mother in law had the police escort her off the premises of the amusement park she worked at. She got completely out of hand.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Hi, Mets fan.

When the Mets wanted him the fuck away from the team after 99 they settled on a deferred payment option because the Madoff returns were going well for the Wilpons at the time.

He gets $1.19 million every July 1 from 2011
until 2035.

4
Gumbygirl

Jesus Christ, that’s even more ridiculous than I thought.

2
Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

They would do all of their baseball business during the late 90s-early 2000s assuming a 10-15 percent return from their Madoff investments.

I mean there’s articles that if Bonilla took a lump sum and threw it in the market it would be worth more over time than the installments but a million dollar lifeline every year until you’re 65 plus MLB pension doesn’t hurt.

Did I ever tell you guys I know Billy Donovan? Whe he was coaching at Florida, he lived next door to my aunt. I saw him and his family a few times a year. He is uber Catholic, like my Aunt Mary, so they hung out together all the time. Aunt Mary was on the board of regents at Notre Dame, and she took one of the Donovan kids for a visit there. When I first met him I was going to Georgia, so we always jagged each other. He’s really a nice guy.

Dunstan

Which brand of crème de Violette do you have? I found that Yvette is a little more reddish when you mix it; Rothman and Winter gives you more of the true violet color. Haven’t compared them side by side as to taste.

1
BrettFavresColonoscopy

Rothman and Winter. Found a liquor store in Burbank that has all the good stuff.

1
Dunstan

Cool. I just acquired a bottle of ginger liqueur, which I was looking forward to experimenting with. Now I’m constantly taking Tylenol and don’t want to mix. I will enjoy that first cocktail on the other end….

2
Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The color is very important; KEEP TRYING!

0
Sharkbait

That’s proper research

2
Dunstan

That’s what I use.

There’s some other gin-based cocktails using crème de Violette you might want to try. The Tiger Lily is equal parts gin, CdV, triple sec, and lemon juice — it’s sweeter than the aviation but not unduly so. The Slow Fade is roughly 1 part gin, 1/2 part lemon, 1/2 part Lillet Blanc, and 1/2 CdV, and is actually the drink that led me to the aviation.

1
BrettFavresColonoscopy

Lillet Blanc and Chartreuse are like the two things I don’t have in my bar

1
Dunstan

Actually, the Slow Fade recipe calls for Lillet Rose, my bad.

I have developed a liking for green chartreuse — just a nice slug poured over one of those huge ice cubes and then slowly sipped.

What animal is he supposed to be anyway? And I wonder if there are any furries that dress up as him?

2
Redshirt

Per Wikipedia, aardvark. Per Rule 34, yes, no exceptions.

7
ArmedandHammered

But he doesn’t have a long thin pig like snout, the ears sure, but he only has the ears. If you are going to anthropomorphize an animal, at least you should be able to realize the animal from the result. Not sure why this bothers me so much, maybe because of the artists laziness.

2
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Maybe he was in some kind of terrible accident and they had to amputate the snout? Or he had snout cancer.

3

Was probably the same surgery where they lengthened and straightened his legs in order to enable bipedalism.

Gumbygirl

For the last 5 years of their lives, I was the sibling closest to my parents. I lived in Atlanta, they lived south of Tampa. Mom had severe COPD, my dad had cancer. I would drive down there frequently, 9 hour drive,to help with various stuff, including helping them sell their house, pack up their stuff, and move back to PA because my mom wanted to die at home. She made it 2 weeks after they got there, Dad died 5 months after her. My brothers and sister still talk about how they” took care of mom and dad.” I don’t have much to do with them anymore. Do what you have to do for your own sake, but don’t expect much appreciation.

6
Redshirt

God bless you.

My mom and aunt basically adopted their parents, my mom got their mom and my aunt got their dad. It worked because my aunt was a nurse and my grandpa lived to his 90s while his mind left him in his 80s. She was able to know exactly what grandpa needs and how to talk “medical” to the nurses.

2
Gumbygirl

My parents were very appreciative that I would drop everything and go whenever they needed me. My siblings, not so much. They said it was because I didn’t “work”, so it was up to me to help them. I was a full time student with a teenaged son with a serious mental illness, and Gumby mostly worked on the road at the time. They can eat a king- sized bag of dicks. Sorry for venting, I need to smoke a j and calm down!

3

I’m the same way. I’m having the same problem with my brother. He was kind enough to say “You take care of our sick mom. I can’t deal with her after a long day of work.”

Apparently, I drive 45 minutes in curvy roads to a day spa nine hours a day five days a week.

4

It sucks, but you won’t regret helping your mom. Your brother ought to be ashamed of himself, but if he’s like mine, he won’t be!

Only child. I got no one to foist this off on.
I also looked after my mom’s dad from age 80 until he finally had to go into the home at age 94 in 2011.
I have earned some world-class fucking karma, or have been a total chump.

1
Gumbygirl

Not a chump. You are a champ! Hero, not zero. Stud, not dud.

1
Viva La Tabula Raza

So I’m chatting with the old man, and he’s like “You wanna come out here this weekend and see what you want to keep?”
“Dad, there’s a lot of stuff that you have that I covet, but I’ll be 61 next month and I really am more concerned with lightening my load rather than taking on even more fucking possessions that I don’t need. Set aside what you absolutely feel necessary to keep, and burn the rest, or call in an estate sale manager.”

2

Enjoy it while you can. My mother’s mother moved back home after spending 20 years on the Florida coast. She only lasted about four years, but my mother enjoyed having her mom back.

If they are self-sufficient, you should be able to find a nice apartment or townhome with the money from the ranch. If they are getting up there, look for assisted living. Some places have townhomes that are near retirement homes. Think of it like a throttling back from on-their-own to old-folks-home.

Brick Meathook

How much does a ranch go for?

1
Viva La Tabula Raza

Depends on a lot of factors. His was pretty puny, only 75 acres, but located directly across US 83 from Garner State Park, most popular State Park in TX. He paid $250K in 1999, I don’t know yet what he got for it, but it was listed @ $825K; I’m guessing he got around $750 K.

1
Gumbygirl

Nice ROA

1
ArmedandHammered

That is what I am thinking.

1
Viva La Tabula Raza

I am thinking he sank at least $150-200K in repairs and improvements over the last 20 years, which affects the profit margin somewhat. Still, not negatively.

I grilled up burgers for a late lunch, and since of course there had to be some hitch, he chipped a tooth. Small price to pay in the end. It’s just so good to get to give him a hug again.

The burgers were way overdone if he chipped a tooth on them

They were perfectly medium rare. He was picking something out of his teeth and “Whoops.”

He was probably picking out one of the rocks you mixed into the ground beef. I keep telling that doesn’t make them taste better, why won’t you listen?

Some of the folks on this site-strutting around, bragging about having fathers that are still with them… I… [breaks down] Goddamn it! Hug that fella at every opportunity. Please.

I can still remember when I got my dad scot-free out of court from a truthful complaint from a neighbor. My heart still overflows remembering how he kept my advice: shut up and shake your head when the neighbor goes ballistic. SNIFF.

My old man is ashes in my mom’s closet. #SpiritAnimal

I already did before this, but I guarantee I will go out of my way even more to do that now. I LOVE that man.

Quick status update: some improvement from yesterday. I got some appetite back and ate a late dinner, then slept through the night. Cough is about the same, but fever is lower than yesterday despite smaller doses of acetaminophen. No new symptoms. Still waiting on testing information.

DO NOT die on us! We will talk shit on you behind your dead back, forever.

One might say he died of being fucking 98.

Mom’s dad and Dad’s mom both lived to be 98. That shit will kill you.

I’d say a fucking 98 is better than just regular 98. I mean I don’t want to see, but good for him.

My father died last year at 94. He was pretty healthy until the very end but he always used to tell people that he suffered from TMB (Too Many Birthdays). That used to crack him up. I miss him sometimes.

Newton MA is noted for it’s Hebrew population, so much so that my Trumpy Mass relatives call it, of course, Jewton. Still, Cam would still probably be much more welcome there than, say, South Boston.

Also, was it just me or was the site down for a while late this afternoon?

Dunno. I posted this at noon & went hiking with the dogs. So in the interim I have no idea.

I couldn’t get on either, for a few hours.

Yeah it was down for me for while too. Long enough for me to go buy a rope, for I feared the site gone, but not long enough for me to learn how to tie a noose.

Glad you’re still with us. Incompetence saves the day!

The WordPress had it’s annual vacation this afternoon. Its back now.

I was able to post the usual bullshit, obscure, graphic “jokes” that very few don’t eye roll, off and on, so maybe the timing was good for once.

Yes, it was down. Long enough that we had to put up the Internet Dad bat signal.
