We are closing out January 2021 this weekand, and nothing in the Premiership is certain. Ole Gunnar’s Devils looked to have all the momentum…until they lost at home to (still) Ded Fookin’ Last Team Knifey midweek. At home, no less.
Now, Pep’s City are back on top, with a game in hand to boot. But they are still too old, and too limited offensively. Their next downturn could be just around the bend. And who do they play today? Why, Team Knifey it is (10:00, NBCSN). I wouldn’t bet on a second lightning strike, but I ain’t exactly betting the other side, neither.
Anything could still happen with the Shempions/Europa slots, too. That’s where Everton come in, needing all three fo’ sho’ against the woefully-out-of-form Barcodes (7:30, NBCSN). It would be very Everton, that to fuck up on the heels of a good midweek point against Leicester (which really should have been three, stinkeyes made at Jordan Pickford and Andre Gomes). Hippo’s Toffees are in 7th position, but with TWO games in hand (albeit with a disclaimer that one of those is against City). Wake up, and join Hippo and poor Dad Duty Litre!
Peacock offers two 10:00 window alternatives to City/Knifey (huzzah). Fulham absolutely, positively must get all three against Fat Sam’s dire Brummies – not just for survival, but also Litre’s poor, dry-drunk nervous system. Palace and Wolves are also a thing that will streamingly happen. Be still my beating heart.
Spotlight Dance is a peach this week, as Angry Man United (oooooh, HAWT) invade the Clubhouse FavoUrite Gooners (12:30, NBC). Don’t look now, but Arsenal are up to 9th position. Not where they want to be, but Handsome Mikel looks like he’ll avoid the sack (PHRASING!), at least.
Unlike Tory Cunt Frank Lampard, ahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahaha
Chelski don’t play until Sunday, though. Your streaming day thus ends with Villa/Soton (3:00, Peacock). When one hates both squadrons, it is great to cheer/bet on Most Glorious Draw, as fewer overall points are alloted. You’re welcome, America!
Perhaps there will be other ways to distract us, with no other FITBAW on the horizon. But probably not. Type away!
Time to enjoy the last of the daylight with a Mexican chocolate peanut butter stout, and a Partagas maduro cigar.
I thought Cuban cigars were still quadruple extra verboten at your side of the world?
Like everything in the good ole U S of A, it all depends on who you know…
I can empathize – after a vacation to Cuba (great country and even greater people) I established a connection with the family we rented a house from (whenever possible, we prefer to stay the hell away from major tourist complexes) that led to many a parcels with some local coffee and handmade cigars – I keep forgettingt what they are called, but for non-descript no-name smokes that are slightly … nonstandard in size (think double-length robusto), they’re probably the best goddamn cigars I’ve ever had
The coffee is pretty fucking good too 😀
You can now bring a limited quantity back with you when you cross the border, so whenever I’m in Canada now I pick up a box at duty-free.
But I’m out of Cubans, this is Honduran, I think?
I know for certain that there’s a Cuban cigar with that name, but it can be one of the “duplicate” brands founded by people that yeeted outta Cuba thanks to Batista and Castro in the same vein as the Cohiba, which is a Cuban AND a Dominican cigar (though the latter is not as good)
I feel like I have been shoveling my fucking deck for days, and I’m only about 1/3 done. I need a deck zamboni.
Or an automated snow plow (aka snow-bot) 😉
Or… a mysterious snow shoveling stranger who doesn’t expect payment, other than a sincere thank you! I usually don’t mind doing it, but it warmed up quite a bit today and now it’s 14 inches of ice and slush, rather than the 20 inches of soft powder it was yesterday.
I love to do it myself regardless of the weather. It does help that I actually use powered kit(including a really decent set of wireless noise-cancelling headpones so I can do music or podcasts*), plus appreciate that way too many people from my age (and Of course, that doesn’t stop me from daydreaming that husqvarna decided to sell a kit to turn their automated mower into a snowplow 😀

What a crazy finish to the Copa Libertadores!
Not to be outdone in the circus car market, the British fired back with the Peel P-50.
It did not have a reverse gear; instead, you got out, lifted the rear end by the handle installed there, and turned the car around to face in the opposite direction.
What kind of MPG you get with that ride, Brick?
According to Wikipedia, the Brütsch Mopetta got 92 mpg (US Gal)

I like her. A tiara and a soccer shower curtain. I’d love to have her yell at me in a low-class English accent.
I’m going bowling tonight. Leagues aren’t allowed but groups of 6 are fine. Masks outside of your defined bowling area. But I couldn’t go to church if I was someone who did that. Guv’mint knows best though.
My lady friend didn’t like that I wasn’t prioritizing her health by going out bowling. So wasn’t going to see me for a couple weeks. Then I told her a story and forgot that she was there for it. Going to be a lot longer than two weeks now.
Uh, serious question – is JJD just not picking good pics tonight or my taste’s affected by my love and close proximity to my wife? 😀

Sorry, I typed that at a too high-a-pitch
So, Doggeeeeehs!!! Who’s a good doggie-woggie-woggie.. yes, you two!!!!!!
Seriously though, dogs (as long as you can afford the time and effort) are grand 🙂 What breed are they, because I can’t make out from the pic ?
Awwww, I saw them as doggies, so uhhh… replace “Doggeh/Dog” with “Kitteh” as appropriate but retain the sentiment 😀
Unrelated – apparently I pay (at least some) taxes in Germany.. Also apparently, the government adjusted my tax bracket (or Tax Class) so .. I haz free money 🙂

That Kruger is one handsome yella fella! He looks like he could use a good scritch.
Kruger?
Krüger?
Edit: In case no one gets the reference – watch A Bridge Too Far / Flight Of The Phoenix (the good one)
Krueger?
Technically, his namesake is South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Middle name Adams, because I was reading David McCullough’s excellent biography when we adopted him (and middle names are my specialty).
g’evenin’ y’all, how’re ya this fine arse eve?
NBC showing two-man luge, which reminds me, where did Buddy Cole’s Halftime Show wander off to?
Big plans for today. Just placed an order for liquor. Then I will pick it up. Then I will drink. I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
Pace yourself, you don’t want to sprain your liver.
I don’t get your plans? Why didn’t you order in advance (for home delivery) then you could’ve used the time wasted picking up booze to drink booze?
Smart drankin’ is good drankin’ after all
College Basketball Update:
The Oklahoma Dirt Suckers are three points up on the Alabama Dirt Suckers with less than 5 minutes left.
Umm, this game is really intense.

Holy crap that seems to be about the worst possible car design ever.
Those “cars” were hilarious. We almost bought one when we lived in Scotland, but we came to our senses and bought an Audi instead.

No, I don’t want to know.
I’d just like to point out that the Multi-National Porn Complex took 31(!), thirty-one years to riff on the “All That Jazz” movie. ALL IT TOOK WAS TO SWAP OUT A SINGLE VOWEL!*

Sober Me: “Huh. A package from Land’s End, addressed to me? I didn’t order anything from them though.”
Drunk Me: [expectant look]
Sober Me: [opens package] “Flannel pajama bottoms? Cool! Thanks Drunk Me!”
Drunk Me: [blushes] “I’ll always be here for you, dude.”
It’s good to know that I am not the only person to which this happens.
All the time. I have so many knock off futbol jerseys due to high me.
Gumby has been buying weird jewelry lately. Scorpion necklaces, and leather bracelets with stuff either embedded or dangling off them. And knives of all sorts. He might be hitting the edibles a bit hard, or he’s turning into Johnny Depp.

Clearly the last straw for his team’s chances. Management may need to make a clean sweep.

I was the only one in NSNO Prediction League to predict a Draw. Turns out, not quite pessimistic enough.
At 9 am DFO can see double meltdown as Mighty Whitey is for sure going to fuck this up and it will end hope.
Again, the wise words of the pre-disgraced Louis CK: ‘Optimistic’ is really just a euphamism for ‘stupid.’ Maybe sommet nice will happen? WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYTHING NICE EVER HAPPEN??
Richarlison dogged it on that one.
Jesus Fuck Everton, what was that marking??????
Hippo, the Toffees are sitting back and taking it.
Two worst matches of the season, both against these toothless Geordie cunts
Son and I were talking about food trends and I mentioned the chicken sandwich and I pronounced one chain as “Chicka Feelya”. He had himself a real good laugh.
