This week has been a real scorcher temperature-wise with hot temps all over the southern United States. Sexy Friday, as always, is bringing you more heat in the form of hot Tik Tok girls to keep you sweating through the weekend.
More on that a little later.
Now, what do we want to talk about tonight?
The AFL has some great games tonight starting with the GWS Giants hosting the Brisbane Lions at 8:45 PM Pacific on Fox Sports 2. The Sydney Swans take on the Gold Coast Suns shortly after that game finishes at 11:35 PM Pacific on the Watch AFL app.
ESPN has the “MLS is Back” tournament from the cesspool that is Central Florida. ESPN has DC United against the New England Revolution at 5 PM Pacific while ESPN2 has Sporting KC against the Colorado Rapids at the same time. At 7:30 PM, ESPN continues the coverage with Real Salt Lake against Minnesota United. That is, of course, assuming games don’t get canceled/postponed because of the COVID.
That’s pretty much it for sports. There will be more soccer tomorrow with the lone EPL match between Norwich City and Burnley at 9:30 AM Pacific and the FA Cup Semifinal between Arsenal and Manchester City at 11:45 AM Pacific. I can feel the angst of the Arsenal fans all the way from the West Coast.

Today, I will be showing you Tik Tok girls that have something in common, but I won’t tell you what it is. It’s another hidden theme and we’ll see if anyone can guess it.
Without further ado, here are this week’s dirty dirty Tik Tok girls. Enjoy:

And now, the next episode of our new feature!
As I mentioned before, I’ve decided that I must take up the mantle that tWBS ran with and help to make this world a better place. I will do this in the one way he couldn’t: By introducing you to good music!
My aim each week will be to showcase a tune or band from the 80s (the best decade EVAR!) that not many people know about or have heard of. In this way, hopefully these artists will find new audiences and the old audiences can reminisce about what they were doing in the 80s.
Today is the second of a two-part post!
Last week, we delved into the music of Adam and the Ants. Today, we talk about the songs that Adam Ant released as a solo act. Granted, he really wasn’t completely solo as he had a backing band and that band had a few members of the Ants in it.
However, Adam did change his songs to reflect the New Wave sounds that were all the rage in the early 80s. In 1982, he broke up “Adam and the Ants” and released his first solo album, “Friend or Foe”. This album kept the use of two drummers and could be considered to be a natural progression from the last Adam and the Ants album.
It produced several massive hits, including my all-time favourite Adam Ant song, “Desperate But Not Serious”:
and “Goody Two Shoes”:
Finally, the title track, “Friend or Foe” got massive radio airplay:
As you can see, Adam went all out with the music videos and they were on heavy rotation on MTV back in the days when they actually played music.
The following year, Adam Ant released the album “Strip” with the title track garnering much attention and many sales:
Did a Young Balls dedicate this song to a girl he liked in middle school? Yes, he did! Did it work? No, it did not!
That album also produced a modest hit with Puss n Boots. Adam went back to the studio and shortly released “Vive Le Rock” which featured two hits, one being the title track, and the other called “Apollo 9”:
After 1985, Adam took a bit of a break from creating albums. He came back at the end of the decade with the album “Manners and Physique”. This album produced the hit, “Room at the Top”:
After another five year break, Adam came back with the album, “Wonderful”. Again, the title track was the standout. It remains one of my favourite songs ever:
Adam’s career took a turn as he got involved with television and acting and stopped recording. In addition, he went through some mental health issues that he is still dealing with to this day.
In 2013, he put out a comeback album entitled, “Adam Ant Is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner’s Daughter” which was a return to the days of his very first album with Adam and the Ants in the sense that it was experimental, raw, and did not follow conventions. It did fairly well in the UK, producing the hit, “Cool Zombie”:
Adam Ant was still playing shows at the time the pandemic hit. His 2020 tour was supposed to feature a song-by-song replay of the Friend or Foe album in a similar vein to what The Cure did with their Disintegration shows in Australia.
And yes, he still has TWO MOTHERFUCKING DRUMMERS PLAYING AT THE SAME TIME in his shows!

That’s all for this week, folks! Be good to each other and try to stay the fuck away from stupid people. That’s not COVID-19 advice, that’s just general good sense. See you next week!
This place is located in Uvalde, TX, 20 or so miles south of my parents’ ranch. I’ve been looking at this sign since 1999.
AND we have today’s first Moment of Viva La Tabula Raza’s Autobiography. Pay attention people!
Cactus Jack Garner, FDR’s VP from 1933-1941, was from Uvalde. He famously described the vice presidency as being “not worth a bucket of warm piss”. (For many years, this quote was bowdlerized as “warm spit”.)
His home in Uvalde is a museum.
Matthew McConaughey is also from Uvalde. Alright alright alright.
Unfortunately, sale of those kinds of things is forbidden here in TX. Shit, they can’t GIVE them away.
I was born a poor white child in Brockton, Massachusetts.
So far, I am not enjoying this game
Ooh, Jennifer, Jessica, and some broad when I was drinking Boone’s in 9th grade.
I hope you had a clean ass for them.
Hard to imagine the amount of courage and conviction needed to stand at the head of the march here, knowing full well what was coming next. The BLM protests have encountered over the top violent responses from police in some places, but there’s still the possibility of them ending without direct confrontation. At this point, it was only going to end with brutality.
I remember seeing this shit on TV at age five. Is it any wonder that I broke down in tears when Obama won in 2008, even though I was in Iraq at the time?
And to think. Twelve years later and forces are still fucking there and in Afghanistan for no fucking reason.
Under Siege 2 and live AFL? This calls for another bourbon!
Under Siege 2 was lacking the Eleniakian talent of Under Siege
Shit Mumford is hurt
Nevermind?

Both semifinals going the distance. The 2012 Giants trailed the ’61 Yankees most of the game, by as much as 5-1, but got the lead when it counted, on a walk-off RBI single by Joaquin Arias.
Vamos!
Shit, John Lewis died.
Terrible. Fortunately, there’s an invigorating picture above.
Just saw that. I’m sure there are high fives going around the WH right about now.
Well fuck.
So I have to think Edmonton’s social media department is being flooded equally by American racists angry at changing the team name and Letterkenny fans suggesting they change it to Roughriders
I am sure Trevor Risk is involved in the Roughrider naming.
The booze really fucked up Oliver Reed.
High ground.
I see that the Edmonton Eskimos are changing their name to the “Honkies”.

From a slasher movie…. so we know what happens to her character later in the movie.
That still seems so odd to me — that a genre watched mostly by young, not terribly religious or uptight people would still implicitly push some weird outdated morality tale.
Or was this a thing about “our fans are nerds who aren’t getting laid, so they resent anyone who does”?
They do seem to be right about mother-in-laws:
No, it wasn’t that. The fans during the golden age of Slashers (about 1979-83) were a pretty diverse lot of teens. I think it basically developed initially as a Final Girl thing because that’s how John Carpenter made Halloween, and they were all pretty much copying that template. Then it just kind of became a genre staple (or maybe just a continuing in-joke for long-term fans).

My attorney invited me over and I just got back from sharing a couple bottles of 12 and 14 year old Glenmorangie so I missed the last three hours of Dance Fever (probably just as well since I would have no doubt pissed off RTD with my blatant disregard of the rules).
Hope all of y’all are feeling as well as I am right now!
It’s a dance party. There are no rules!
Fuck, my Mad TV rewatch has reached the era of The Apprentice. Goddamn it.
“Boy, what can’t he do!?” I want to diiiiiieeeeeeeeeee
Don’t “start spreading the news” just yet — the ’88 Dodgers, down to their last six outs, scored one run in the 8th to tie, and another in the 9th to pull out a 3-2 victory and force a Game Seven with the ’27 Yankees.
Evenin. Weekend in the mtns with the family. Kid won’t go to sleep and all I want to do is drink more wine and write my section for Saturday futbol. Will it happen? Doubtful.
that sounds rocking
holy shit Customs & Border Patrol just pulling random protestors from the street in Portland OR
fuck those guys
This seems to be happening more and more….. good times.
Y’know, Biden just might want to speak out against this, assuming he actually wants to win.
Why? Biden speaking out on it will just encourage Trump to do more of this. Trump wants to turn this election into 1968, “law and order” vs. “scary black people and socialist radical whites.”
I mean, if he’s asked in an interview, he should of course call it bullshit, but going out of his way to denounce it just endangers more people.
Anyone who refuses to vote for Biden because he didn’t sufficiently denounce this was looking for an excuse anyway.
No, he should speak out because it’s the right thing to do, pure & simple. This shit is Fascist State Idelogy 101. That’s an easy thing to rebuke. It doesn’t automatically side Biden with the protesters, but it does entrench him as an anti-fascist which is the correct position to take. He can come out & support the Oregon governor and senators who have called for an end to this nonsense.
A younger Biden would have been all over this, so if he hedges & haws, it’s going to show a generational divide that he might not be able to overcome.
“Law and order” of course being the secret police taking you to the cornfield.
Oh, it’s ridiculous of course. But if Biden can make this election about “Trump is incompetent and that’s why people are dying and the economy sucks,” he wins easily. If it’s the conservative noise machine against the righteous truth about Portland and creeping fascism? That’s a closer fight. It shouldn’t be, but it is.
I think (currently) Biden will win, based on Trump’s COVID response and economic projections. But I also think he needs to reach out to a very fractured Democratic party (as well as left-leaning Independents) and show them he’s in their corner. Recently he’s actually been doing an OK job of that…an actual climate plan, and talk of decriminalizing MJ (finally!). Good steps, IMO.
But I also think a lack of opposition to police-state tactics will cost him support, as then it becomes, “Well, Biden isn’t against this, ergo he’s for it.” Which, given Biden’s record with the Crime Bill and being VP to a very supportive Patriot Act president, is not exactly an unfair position to take.
I’ll vote for the reanimated corpse of Tom Petty if that’s who the Dems nominate. Or an overfilled anthropomorphic colostomy bag (which is kind of what he have now, anyway), for that matter.
This __ IS __ Biden’s position on law enforcement, and it has been his entire life. That Swiss cheese brained fuck probably thinks trump isn’t going far enough.
I expected this from the bloody reign of NSZ.
Are they making anyone drink castor oil? If not, LOSERS!

Funny how the closer you get to the US-Mexico border, the more the attitude is as shown above. Why are the people of Wyoming and North Dakota so worried about immigrant workers?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the Barstool interview wasn’t the only time Roenicke acted like an ass. Discovery is going to be a bitch for him.
Not sure I’ll be able to catch the GWS game live, so should I avoid the thread later?
It depends on who else is watching. I’ll try not to give score updates..
Thanks for going with the joke.
Is this on Netflix?

Top Heavy was my fave James Bond movie villain.
