Your “Weekend At Donnies” Saturday Evening Open Thread

The fact that I now know this means Seamus is still trying to inflict his musical stylings on me from beyond the grave: Apparently, it’s a “thing” for newbie idiot Green Day listeners to tweet at Billie Joe Armstrong on October 1st. Because September ended. GET IT?! (h/t Cracked)

Of course, much like people get the meaning of “In The Air Tonight” wrong – Actual meaning: Phil Col… I don’t fucking care! – tweeting at him about this song is pouring salt into a wound, since the song is about the death of his father in September 1982 when he was ten, and how every year since puts him further away from the life he shared with a person he clearly cared deeply about.

Anyway, since it earwormed into my head, I figured I’d pass it around like a bong at a bush party. It’s what Seamus would want.

(Both; he’d want both.)

Besides, real assholes know what’s what: dialing 867-5309 in every town you visit.

That’s a classic dick move! Lazy millennials just don’t want to put in the work.

Tonight’s other TV:

Apparently it’s the season premiere of SNL tonight. Chris Rock is the host & Megan Thee Stallion is the musical guest. I don’t know who she is, but some Canadian hippity hopper named Tory Lanez is awaiting charges for shooting her in the foot earlier this year. I’m sure one of her songs will reference that.

——————————————————–

[Fun fact: in checking to see if “Hippity Hopper” was a racist term, I learned it was the name of that stupid boxing kangaroo from the old “Looney Tunes” cartoons.

Researched fact: It’s not racist (at least that I could find) but a predecessor to Sylvester was in one of the “Censored Eleven” cartoons that Warner Brothers made but United Artists withheld from syndication after 1968 over the use of ethnic stereotypes. Specifically, the cat in “Angel Puss” was based on the Stepin’ Fetchit character pioneered by Lincoln Perry, who made a lot of movies in the 1930s but was stereotyped out of work when Hollywood began retiring most of its severely racist caricatures in the 1940s. (His foil in the cartoon is a boy named “Sambo”, so you know how that’s going to go.) The cartoon is available online but I won’t link to it here, to help try & keep [DFO] off certain databases.

Sad fact: Perry’s son Donald was the identified shooter in the 1969 Pennsylvania Turnpike shooting, in which 3 people were killed & 17 others wounded during a shooting spree with an M1 and a carbine before he turned the gun on himself. There is a conspiracy theory that he was set up by the FBI as part of their COINTELPRO program to take the blame for the shooting as an attempt to discredit the black power movement he was a part of after returning stateside following his two tours of Vietnam.]

Man – cartoon history rabbit holes get pretty dark pretty quick. Enjoy your evening!

I’m not sure if Trump or Christie is the canary in the coal mine for me. I’m pretty much Trump’s size (so he is definitely around 350) but I guess that other fat fucking failure is close enough.

Either way, while I’m technically healthy so fucking what. If I get it I’m going to die. So I’m curious to see what happens to these two losers.

For some reason I have alway thought In the Air Tonight was about Collins’s divorce at the time.

I always thought it was about a really rank fart ripped in the close confines of the recording studio and the ensuing argument as to who dealt it.

Isn’t it obvious who dealt it?

Probably hard to determine when everyone is playing, may be hard to tell if timed correctly with the drums.

The wind instrument was added by the producer.

Possibly the best season, because of KD; also, possibly the worst season because KD and Fat Matt Damon met on set and now she won’t return my fan mail.

She was so damn good in that.

Great season. Enjoy.

The first season, Billy Bob was a goddamn force of nature. That sold me.

To all the guys in my dopey fantasy league: ESPN Fantasy just released a post regarding how they’ll treat players with COVID and games that are postponed. The article made the point that I can alter the rosters to allow up to 4 IR slots. The problem is I just spent an hour combing through FAQs in the support section, and I’ll be damned if I can figure out how to enable this feature. In fact, the page clearly states, “Roster sizes can not be changed when your draft is complete.” I’ll stay on it, and sorry for the confusion.

herodotus450

Luckily I’ve only ever won or lost by like 50 points, so one player on Covid-IR won’t really make a difference.

Texas A&M offensive line is horrible, which means the Jets will try and draft them in their entirety next year.

Bill fucking Burr hosting SNL next week, meaning I have to watch it, and will be disappointed to the point that it lowers his standing in my mind. I saw him co-headline a college orientation–had to be sober and take a breathalyzer to get in the door!–with a student who was also a DJ and that shit was 2 years after Chappelle’s Show ended. He once got ripped apart on O&A by Patrice O’Neal for accepting a gig doing stand-up on a shuttle bus taking fans to the Fenway Park.Can’t believe ol’ Bill got the call.
