I realize it’s cruel to start a post with Canada’s most loathed export, but they did release a new album yesterday. Rather than punish you with that, I at least had the kindness to give you a cover song punctuated with hockey fights. It’s the little things, people.
But if you want to see full Massholes on display, I present to you the Bruins’s statement on Tuukka Rask opting out & heading home:

Dear lord, the certified psycho-medical professionals of Twitter on full display.
Look – we’ve been following the Patriots long enough to know what these people are. My question is: do they know it? I mean, everyone can admit they’re an ass sometimes, but do you think, in their soul, these people realize how truly awful they are & how few people would actually miss them?

The Rivieras were from the midwest and had never seen the Pacific Ocean:

Memo done, so how about a 7.5% ABV sour?
I’ll approve that.
They say alcohol is a depressant but here I am 6 hours past my bedtime…
Stage 2 at Hollywood Center Studios being built-out for a season of “Wizards of Waverly Place.” Audience bleachers are to picture left; the camera alley is below the guard rail. The sets are under construction and the production lights are not yet hung.
Stage 2 at Hollywood Center is the oldest sound stage in Hollywood (a “sound stage” is insulated from outside noise). Hollywood Center is one of the oldest motion picture production facilities in Los Angeles.
That’s fantastic. I like seeing how the sausage gets made.
I fucked up and mis-named it (I was doing it from alcohol-soaked memory). The photo above is actually stage 5/6 (it can be one stage or divided into two). Stage 2 is the original “I Love Lucy” sound stage.
Still nice!
[Charlie Chaplin looks up from fucking his underage cousin-lover*]
“Hey, I remember that!”
*or whatever
Chaplin’s studio was at Santa Monica and La Brea. It was Herb Alpert’s A&M Records for years, but now it’s Jim Henson Studios, which is owned by Disney. If Disney wants to fuck your child up the ass, they are above the law. Just take the cash payment they offer and don’t make trouble.
Bah, my eyes are dry and I’m trying to write this memo when I want a third beer.
It’s like 9:30 on a Saturday for you PST people.
Have that beer.
10:30.
Fuck, I need to go to bed.
You’re bad at math sober, so this is about right.
Yeah, it’s definitely time to call it a night.
This is L.H. Putgrass, signing off and heading for the tub!
?
There we go.

10:30 but yeah I just started drinking
I’m letting completion of the memo be the demarcation of when I can have the third beer.
“In conclusion, the subject of this memo is a land/topic of contrasts.”
get that beer
The industrial revolution is like a story I know ….
The Syphilis-Fueled Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower is a topic worthy of discussion . . .
Accuracy confirmed.
Only more computer/ internet related “creativity” items, otherwise it holds up.
I’m 1000% behind afternoon naps, and this quarantine has been amazing for those.
Mike Trout just struck out looking to end the game, allowing me to bring up my favoUrite pedantic argument: Mike Trout should never be considered for the MVP award because, despite being undeniably great, he has willingly tied himself for years to an absolutely shit organization that sucks with him and would suck without him, thereby completely negating any value his considerable skills would bring to a team with even an ounce of self-respect.
Discuss.
You have bad opinions and you should feel bad.
Buddy, I’m two high-octane beers and several swigs of shitty moonshine in: I can’t feel my legs, let alone my bad opinions.
You’re lucky Son Of Spam is happily sleeping/ drunk.
I remember the season Peyton Manning was hurt and the Colts went 1-15 or whatever. Peyton should have won the MVP that year despite not playing as snap.
/Pedant rises
No. No he should not have. As soon as you put “most valuable” in the tile you have moved away from an argument as to merely who is the best. Is Trout the best player in MLB? Almost certainly. But does he add value to his team? Well, no. The Angels would undoubtedly be a terrible team without him, but, SPOILER, they’re a terrible team with him as well! If you’e the best player in the league, and your team went 1-15, or finished last, (again), in the AL West, your value is shit.
Change the award to Best Player and I’ll vote for Trout pretty much every year. As long as it’s ‘Most Valuable’, however, I’m voting for a player on a team that either made the play-offs or was in the hunt late into September.
Words have meaning, and WAR isn’t a word, therefore what is it good for? Absolutely nothing; I’ll say it again.
/Pedant steps off soapbox, trips and falls flat on his nose
Oh Gobdabbit
Baseball especially fetishizes the other awards like Cy Young, Golden Glove, Silver Slugger, which are “Best Whatever.” So hopefully the young trout has won some of those.
EXCEPT: those awards, and all sprots awards(?) are voted on by peter king-esque media fuckwads, which is why I denounce them all and look down on anyone who tries to start or participate in discussions about them.
Fuck Peyton Manning with his own filthy assaulting nutsack
I heard his wife took PEDs.
Have you ever met an Ashley that didn’t suck?
He’s more of an Ashley-Pitt, but he took a bullet for Roger.
I spent about 10 days in Vilnius, and I really enjoyed it, but maybe not quite this much. Or maybe this much, I did go to a ska show in the locker room of an old Soviet sports center, eat the best beer snack ever (fried bread rolled in garlic and covered with melted cheese and garlic sauce), drink a lot of local brandy, sleep with a Canadian, correct people’s pronunciation of Zloty, ate garlic soup every day, and was able to buy mushrooms (the foraged eating non-hallucinogenic kind) from old women on the sidewalk, so yeah, I should probably move to Vilnius.
“sleep with a Canadian”
You know what they say: once you go Canuck, there’s no one else you want to fuck.
Not of a lot of “sleeping” going on when you’re with Scotchy…
Because after all the stabbing there’s soooo much cleanup to do.
Look, the Canadian government has apologized repeatedly for Scotchy.
and everything else.
Well sure, that’s only polite you know.
They should specify that you need TWO containers in the title, misleading, 2/5
“I’ve got a plastic bottle and a knife! I’m gonna survive!”
Reads instructions.
“Well, shit.”
Technically it is correct, which is correct. You could make the title a paragraph and make it graphically useless if you like.
To be fair, one can reasonably assume that used soda cans are everywhere. Yay humans!
And plastic bottles, and plastic bags, and plastic…….
Looks at garbage floating in from the ocean.
“I’m saved!”
That’s pretty much true.
The soda can is not required anyway, just better and faster.
