Your “Go Back, Jack, Do It Again” Thanksgiving Football Open Thread, Part Deux

I’m talking about filling your plate a second or third time of course. How the hell are you going to doze off in front of the TV otherwise? Sheesh!

TO THE GAME!

Team/Cowboys:

-Bearing in mind the division these guys play in you can say that both are riding high on one game winning streaks.

-Each team in the NFC East has won three games and it’s the sort of logjam that your uncle creates in yer terlet just before he leaves your house at the end of the night, telling no one. The Eagles precocious tie gives then a lofty .350 winning percentage and the division lead.

-Battle of the Backups! Both Dalton and Smith have been underwhelming although the former had his way last week with a Vikes D that has given up the ghost. Things shouldn’t be as easy this time around as Team’s D exerts all kinds of pressure up front and has an underrated secondary.

-“Scary Terry” is listed as questionable but his ability is not. He’s playing on an anemic O featuring a third-string qb and somehow he’s 4th in the league in receiving. It does sorta help that he has no help in the passing game but still…

-Zeke had his very first 100 yard game last week. It probably had something to do with benching Terrance Steele and shuffling what’s left of the talent on the line (Zach Martin and Connor McGovern) over to the right side. When the Cowboys ran to that side they did so at 7.2 yards a pop.

Continue doing that thing you were doing. It felt very nice!

Wow, Joe Greene has quite an extensive movie resume

BrettFavresColonoscopy

And he isn’t dead yet!

Doktor Zymm

Nothing in this millennium, but current moviemakers are missing out

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Michael Bay and Mean Joe Greene could make terrible movies together

Doktor Zymm

I think they died? but so did a whole bunch of dickheads?

Brick Meathook

I’m a decorated U.S. combat veteran and I have no idea what you”re talking about, and I’m pretty sure you don’t either.

Doktor Zymm

I seriously want to hand these dudes some proper firepower. Chains and knives are all well and good, but mow those racist motherfuckers down. Bring a goddamn gun to this knife fight.

Don T

Spent Thanksgiving by meself, peacefully, and had homemade Nachos (chips, jalapeños, chorizo & american cheese), and ice cream (B&J’s NY Super Fudge chunk). I could really get into the recluse lifestyle, again. DONT FAIL ME NOW NFL!1!1!

Doktor Zymm

It’s fine style

Don T

Yes. I’ve always liked living alone. Though, for cultural reasons, I slant more towards shirtless instead of pantsless.

Doktor Zymm

Why not both?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Honestly that sounds lovely

Doktor Zymm

I gots egg whites. What should I do with them?

ballsofsteelandfury

A meringue?

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, that’s the first thing that comes to mind

ballsofsteelandfury

Or vanilla meringue cookies!

Dunstan

Whiskey sours.

Remember to do a “dry shake” — shake without ice first to integrate the egg whites, then add ice and re-shake to chill.

Doktor Zymm

“Show a man a fact….”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Not gonna lie, really wish I had a pecan pie right meow

ballsofsteelandfury

Read Sexy Friday tomorrow…

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Scratch and sniff?

Doktor Zymm

Ah, okay, now we gots the plot. The dude who was murdered in the first scene, his brother was one of the shirtless barn dudes, and now they’re gonna go back and the Black Six biker gang is gonna fight the dudes who killed his brother!

Doktor Zymm

(the racist killer white dudes are also a biker gang)

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Elijah Craig small batch is bringing me home tonight

Sharkbait

Overholt rye manhattan here

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Ooooh that sounds better. But i used my shaker to make lady bfc a bee’s knees and i don’t want to clean it.

Doktor Zymm

PEACE AND LOVE

Gumbygirl

My Thanksgiving dinner was excellent, and my pie kicked ass! Tooting my own damn horn, because wine and weed!

Doktor Zymm

Hellz yeah!

Sharkbait

This is definitely the place to brag about ones own cooking. I’ll be doing that tomorrow with turkey stock

herodotus450

I’ll take 100 shares!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

What kind of pie and do you ship?

Gumbygirl

It was pumpkin. Actually it was whatever kind of squash Libby puts in cans instead of pumpkin, but it was perfect!

Doktor Zymm

I’m gonna watch a bad movie I apparently own called “The Black Six” starring Mean Joe Greene

Sharkbait

Bad movies can be very entertaining

Doktor Zymm

It starts with a dude being murdered, which is nauseating, but then it stars

So, blaxpoitation at its finest

Doktor Zymm

yeah, now it’s dudes without shirts tossing around hay bales and making jokes about goats

Sharkbait

Well, thats something

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sounds like Mercury Morris

herodotus450

I think I’ve seen that one. Thin plot, bad acting, but a huge payout in the end.
Wait I might be thinking of a different movie.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I regret to inform you that lady bfc overcooked the apple pie and I’m pretty much out of wine

Doktor Zymm

Out of wine?comment image

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Oh, i have dessert beer and whiskey lined up, but I’ve killed this bottle of wine.

Doktor Zymm

Phew, weeping avoided

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Like the saying goes, don’t cry over finished wine, piss yourself over finished whiskey

Doktor Zymm

I always went with “convince your friend he pissed himself after finishing an entire bottle of Bailey’s”

Senor Weaselo

Out of a shoe?

Dunstan

I can never get enough Bailey.

Oh, sorry, it’s Thanksgiving, I thought we were talking about WKRP

herodotus450

Not sure if I want “apple pie” to be a euphemism or not

Senor Weaselo

Remember, it would be rude not to eat her pie. Even if it’s no longer moist.

Sharkbait

Overcooked or burned? Overcooked can be salvaged with vanilla ice cream

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Whipped cream was enough to make it work

herodotus450

Are waltzes just jigs in fancy clothes? Discuss.

Senor Weaselo

Jigs (or gigues) are normally in 2 (or sometimes 4), with three beats subdivided in the big beats. They’re pretty fast. Waltzes are in three and are descended off the Ländler, itself a peasant backlash (I guess) to minuets.

I prefer the Mazurka, even though I have no idea how to dance it

Senor Weaselo

For my Baroque class during my Master’s we actually had a class dancing all these dances, so the full suite—allemande, courante, sarabande, minuet, gavotte, bourree, and gigue. And maybe some others. I don’t think we did the loure, and IIRC the chaccone might’ve been like the sarabande.

Waltzes were later on, so we didn’t do those that class. This was also the class I learned if I actually tried I could dance for shit, maybe because we were all in the same boat of having no idea, and unlike being 10 if you did ballroom dancing, the opposite sex isn’t absolutely terrifying anymore.

Doktor Zymm

That actually sounds incredibly fun!

Senor Weaselo

I liked that class except for when my group partner bailed on me DAY OF when we were to give a presentation on Tartini. The vocal majors thought I “going deeper, to the frog” was a sexual euphemism because I was also nervous as fuck.

And it gave me an outlet to do a dry run of what will eventually be my dissertation (Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin and the Golden Ratio).

Doktor Zymm

If someone bails on you like that again, give me a call, although I can only promise the competence that 15 minutes of cramming on wikipedia gives

Doktor Zymm

Shit, can we go back to April, I have a great idea for a thing to do during lockdown

TheRevanchist

Hugging people? Who might have diseases?

Doktor Zymm

Ew, no, I was referring to the reckless driving through heavily populated areas

TheRevanchist

So that would be different than every other day how?

Doktor Zymm

Less traffic
