Look, it was about time they got a break and besides, as a literary genre it is a bit self-limiting, don’t cha think? Also, it’s Thanksgiving and we are supposed to think about the less fortunate. Or was that Arbour Day? I get things mixed up here and there. Fear not, we’ll have some ‘psychopath on hobo action’ soon enough but for now we’ll have to content ourselves with the last game of the night on offer.
TO THE GAME!
Vikes/Seahawks:
-Give Brian Shottenheimer some credit for adjusting the Seahawks offensive identity. That ‘we will run you into the ground’ mentality was wearing a bit thin and became increasingly easy to game plan for. (it also made my ‘no-brainer’ Chris Carson pick-you know he’s going to get all kinds of touches if he’s healthy-look a bit sillier than I’d thought).
-Yeah, the team that ran the 9th-most run plays last year has now dropped all the way to 22nd.
-Vastly under-appreciated qb Wilson took the task to heart and has responded with a performance through the first quarter of the season that not many saw coming. Will he cook for Zeke? The question remains unanswered.
-Speaking of qb’s, what’s up with Kirkie? His PFF passing grade thru the first three quarters of each game is 66.5 but then he revs it up to 87.1 in the fourth. It’s attributed to the team having to play catchup but there’s something else going on as well.
-That thing is that he leads the league in average depth of target at 12.1, meaning he makes his longer strikes count but they come in the last 12 minutes of the game. Maybe do something earlier, guy who draws up the plays?
Do what you do best, just try to not get it on your monitor.
Can the Oceanic Raptors only score if they do it in one drive?
ha collinsworth had to stop himself from saying “oakland”
Liked this fixture better when I was barely paying attention, and Dingleberry was fucking up.
found a funny:
Putting a bell around a cow’s neck to circumvent its stealthiness is just wrong. I say let them hunt.
As a crazy cat person, I get and highly approve of this yuk-yuk
My chow mix got a goat bell when she started killing deer out in the yard. I hated cleaning that mess up.
Plus, you know, exposure to Lyme Disease
the vikings have a tackle named Riley Reiff, sounds a lot like another name, so here u go

I like her scene where she’s the yoga instructor
I’m amazed clothed pics of her exist
She has an Instagram account. No nipples, no holes below the Equator.
Why do I get the feeling the Vikes are going to fuck this up?
You haven’t fully killed the “hope” cells of your brain?

Hey, turns out I know someone on a billboard!
Pfft! Half my clients are prominently featured at the Post Office.
Need to stop multi-posting.
do those Jerseys represent covid deaths?
Dingleberry QB sneak is a very sad thing.
It would be better if he wore a trenchcoat and dark glasses, far more sneaky
There’s no way he wasn’t the worst motivational coach ever.
please I do not need a god damned shootout to wreck my fantasy matchup
Vikings are more into pillaging with axes than firearms
Killing with an axe takes a lot MOAR skill. I almost think axe murdering should be legal, just so ppl up their game.
IN-COM-PLETE!!!!
/wrong team but FUCK IT
Do you think DK could score three more times? That would mean I’d only need like 30 points from Josh Kelley to win.
They’re opening a Chipotle across the street from my office in a building that was a closed-down Carl’s Jr. (closed for a while, too). That’s like a stab in the heart of not only the taco truck parked on the other side of the McDonald’s, but to the 60% of (small) businesses that are gone forever because this country fucking sucks shit.
It’s Chipotle, so half their customers will get food poisoning within two weeks.
Small mercies
All I know of Chipotle (ALL Mexican food gives me migraines, because FUCK MY BRAIN) is that it smells like a bum’s asshole.

Keep going to the taco truck, encourage your friends to go to the taco truck, and if all else fails, look into the cleansing power of a good grease fire.
This isn’t the first time I’ve ideated about how to burn down a Chipotle.
I go let the cat out, grab a ginger beer…and is 21-13 already.
The Vikings right now.
One handed catches are always impressive, even moreso when it’s an INT
You see that Hump linebacker make an acrobatic pick today, despite having one taped-up “club” hand?
Saw replay and dude should get a bonus
HOX woke up.
Carson HEYYYYOOOO
Oh primetime Cousins shows up!
I should take off tomorrow in protest. This is horseshit.
Start using more U’s in your words and say you are from up here!
I don’t need to pretend,
(It’s Indigenous People’s Day tomorrow. State employees don’t get tomorrow off.).
They should at least play “Beds Are Burning” on constant loop, eh?
The drum solo at 2:41 on that song is the shortest, most intense drum solo in the history of recorded music.
is pretty tight, musically speaking. I didn’t properly appreciate the same at the time.
A very under-appreciated band on this side of the Pacific. Nice 25 year career, went on hiatus over 15 years ago, recently got back together and are working on a new album; couple songs already released.
That’s one I put on full blast when it comes on Sirius! Banger.
Hourseshite!
Cousins face
A USUAL KIRK COUSINS APPEARS
WHAT WILL YOU DO
KJ with the pick
Man, I notice the game is back, but before I even work up the energy to find the remote (for sound), is already 14-13. LET RUSS USE TEH MICROWAVE.
LET RUSS DEFROST
Dunno how I will manage to work in ceviche but will TRY
LET RUSS HARNESS THE CHEMICAL REACTIVE POWERS OF ACIDIC CITRUS

The first girl voted off looks quietly enraged. It’s like she’s currently plotting her revenge.

That already makes it sound more interesting than most singing type shows
The first few rounds they all have to vote for a contestant to drop. Except the best singer gets a bye. It’s actually a pretty good format.
Not in those shoes
Okay, that was a hell of a pass from Charmslinger.
I never believed he was underrated but legit think he somehow is
Thats a fumble
Should have been a TD too. Stupid Refs.
These refs blow faster than Trump with Stormy.
blew faster than my dad working on that water line.
seriously, it went zero to a hundred so quick
We watched an entire season of “Sing On” in Spanish. Now we’re watching the German version.
The scoring algorithm for the German version is much more strict, unsurprisingly.
This Canada-centric view of ThanksgOUiving needs to be stopped
Counterpoint: no.
Had turkey last night, ham and cabbage rolls tonight. Pumpkin Pie and red wine both nights! Huzzah!
I don’t think y’all really killed enough natives to earn teh rite 2 celebrate smh
I just wish we got days off work for both versions
Fireworks going off here in LA.
I hate the Lakers, but I can live with this. At least Miami didn’t embarrass themselves, and I don’t mind LeBron’s legacy growing.
Actual fireworks or gunshots?
A little column A and a little column B. Depends on your neighborhood.
I hear them too. We need to ban fucking fireworks like NOW.
I wonder how many stupid fires will get started with this bullshit…
Too bad we can’t literally douse the Heat from fires with some sort of giant Lake
Yeah it’s noisy as fuck over here.
I’m cool with the season results.
Vikes are going to suck the souls from Yeah Right and Drew again.
Sucks for Yeah right, but Magary can pound sand

Yeah but what if they’re, like, doing that reverse physiology thing?
decent chance LA might be going off
first Lakers win another title then LA Dodgers win a world series?
Meanwhile, the Kings look off into the distance, staring at the sunset and looking down.
I’m sorry, did someone get addicted to winning championships all the time?
Two championships in the existence of the team is not exactly all the time…
lol, kings won a Stanley cup six years ago and they’re almost an afterthought. still say paulina was the only good thing about that team
Wouldn’t the L.A. contingent be having a much better time at the Armenian protests?
There are some pretty fine-looking Armenian ladies, I’ll tell you that…
Indeed
I was sitting on a bench in Yerevan when an Armenian lady started chatting to me trying to convince me I should marry her son. I wouldn’t mind the dual citizenship, but still glad I didn’t go for it.
Starting to think this LeBron James fellow might have some skill at the game of basketball.
oof. person in my fantasy league who started cook also started Prescott
At least Dalvin looks like he just pulled his groin
Any of you other Angelenos feeling the city buzz? Lakers are crushing right now and this town might get crazy. Think I’ll finish this game before switching back to football.
It’s my lady friend’s vibrator. I got her the corded one. Never get the cordless, it’s a waste of money.
But if that’s a WAP you are dealing with, you have the electrocution risk if it’s plugged into the wall. Unless you use GFI.
I appreciate MIN’s tribute to the SEA offense by killing the cook.
She has a Mina Kimes vibe to her.
Dimitroff out too. Full house cleaning in the ATL.
Crap, I got 28-3 odds that Quinn was going to be the first coach fired.
Not the first time Atlanta burned it to the ground
Always deserved
Seattle offense can’t do dick
That was a very complete and satisfactory first half. Let’s stay focused guys, lots of time still out there.
Second week in a row without wearing team colors. I’m onto something.
LOL, MADD is in favor of Prop 22
That totally makes sense. Lyft and Uber fill a lot of needs as far as transportation goes and as far as reducing DUIs. That still doesn’t change that they are shit employers.
What I don’t understand is why the taxi companies haven’t embraced the technology. I mean, if I could summon a cab with an app and know that the driver has been through a screening process and is paid a decent wage with benefits, that would be wonderful!
They sorta did in some markets. What we’re gonna end up with is basically the same thing. Uber/Lyft will go to a franchise model and the middlemen aka franchise owners will play the same role as the cab operators used to.
RIP HailO. What a terrible app.
Fragmentation. Taxi companies, generally, only operate in individual cities, so few, if any, can afford the capital investment for a high-quality app and the infrastructure to run it.
Furthermore, many taxi companies are varieties of coops or franchises etc, which makes it even harder for them to do something, because the company itself is strongly decentralized with many “owners” who are just getting by day-to-day with their licenses.
Fuck, let’s be real, Uber and Lyft can’t really afford it either. Even with their economies of scale, working worldwide and doing stuff like Uber Eats and such, they’re still hemorrhaging money. They’re just running on VC money.
Yup. They’re spending HUGE amounts of money on this Prop 22. If it fails, they are going to go out of business soon.
There’s a reason right there to vote against it!
MADD originally used their lobbying power to push for making federal highway maintenance funds contingent on states raising their drinking age to 21. It was a Constitutionally sketchy move that opened the door to a lot of federal overreach that we see today. I still view them with suspicion and I find it hilarious that they’re still viewed as a desirable endorsement to have.
I agree. They’re like PETA. They may have started out with good intentions, but some things they do are mighty sketchy.
Thus always to opposition groups. Eventually they will do anything to justify their continued existence.

My scallopped taters are getting there! When they’re done I’m pan frying a ham steak and making a sauce with butter, blueberry jam, and a smidge of the garlic better than bouillon. Feeling fancy!
Do you use cheese or just heavy cream?
I love gruyere in my potatoes. Like to finish with some freshly grated parm on top as well.
I did put some shredded cheddar in tonight, but I don’t always. I make a white sauce, if I just use cream it doesn’t get thick enough. The pan sauce for the ham is the best thing, I’m looking forward to it! Maybe some steamed green beans, if I get around to it.
That sounds amazing!
GOD DAMN
Add a bunch more weeks, have the Superb Owl in April

Is there any better indicator that the NFL season is doomed to be canceled after another two weeks than the fact that the Browns are 4-1?
Plus, Bills 4-0.
When you look at what this team is now, it’s absolutely WILD to think that Hue Jackson got as long of a leash as he did.
