Placeholder of Placeholder Threads – now with more half assery!

To recap yesterday – Everton Are Magic!

Two good matches on NBCSN – Wolves/Foxes now, City and the Shite next up.  Watch them both, not much else happening in sportsball today.

I only found out this week that Ron Perlstein wrote THREE MOAR books in the vein of Nixonland, all representing the rise of today’s radical right.  It’s important to better understand how we got to this precarious point.  Fuck a duck, these be long booky-books.  Just my type!

Here’s a great tune sung by another NC-native Evertonian.  UTMFT!!

As the early riser here at DFO there are times where we need the content monster fed. This is one of those times and I have no Snaxx in the bag right now. So we can round table this I suppose. What is everyone eating today? This truly is my favoUrite gluttonous day, I am throwing my “diet” out the window and will eat everything in front of me.

I have 2 lamb racks marinating and made my own Texas style BBQ sauce and the chicken wings are swimming in it right now. Grilling will be difficult today as it is currently -30 degrees C. YOU HAVE TO EARN IT. We will also order Korean fried chicken because it has to be done.

Is there anything that you have every year and should share the recipe ala Yeah Right?

Not me, but you get the idea.

Pre game there is a biggie in England with Man City and Liverpool going head to head, kind of like docking but more skin involved. If Liverpool loses then the season is over and Man City will regain the title. The Reds have been playing down to their opposition all season long so this could be a good tilt if Jurgen gets the lads up for it. Man City is a machine and is steamrolling anyone in their wake. They rarely play down to their competition and I still cringe and hope to not get murdered when Mighty Whitey faces them.

About The London Jaguras. It is over dear reader, they will be sent back down and continue to be a yo-yo club under the misguided, often distracted Tony Khan. Seriously, stick to wrestling and get us a god damned Director of football the loyal fanbase has had enough of seeing you trying to be a knock off Vince McMahon. Your father has invested heavily in the club and your uselessness is ruining any progress that our swarthy manager makes.

Sharkbait still has squares available for the Super Bowl, all the instructions are here.

Have a great day and what are you betting on? May Gamblor be with you!

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

Next thread is up

That’s what the space ghosts want you to think! … Ohwait, it is up… Conveniently up in fact 😀

Horatio Cornblower

Wow, the Germans blew right by the French in this competition.

Never seen that happen before.

scotchnaut

“You’re welcome.”

Horatio Cornblower

Me, celebrating afterwards like a madman

VAR: “After review: Unsatisfied”

Well, this is less than ideal – I got a notice in my trading account’s inbox to make myself available for a Zoom chat with our equivalent of the SEC

Horatio Cornblower

You were with us the whole time, not talking about GameStop.

Senor Weaselo

And you just happened to like the stock.

Horatio Cornblower

What’s not to like about GameStop stock? Clearly a business-model well adopted to today’s climate with nothing but sunny skies ahead!

I don’t think much of people who make a living shorting stock, but they weren’t wrong on GME.

bk109

It was slightly undervalued, plus my initial buy-in was last year with a modest long position after I caught wind that Mike Burry advocating that they’re undervalued and ripe for going private 😀
By the way, Gamestop can still be profitable, especially given their shift towards collectibles and memorabillia tbh It’s never going to be as big as it used to be, though

scotchnaut

-yeahright, trying to provide cover for your activities

bk109

Partially true – I liked the influx of naive/clueless people going after that stock, so I bought in between the pumps and bailed high (though like .. 30$ off the peak, because I’d rather cash out early than be left holding the bag like the people on the last day)

Basically the same shit as Boeing last year – it was volatile as fuck for a couple of days going as low as 90 (undervalued) to north of 300 (overvalued given the clusterfuck that is the state of air travel/ the 737 Max debacle). Btw, riding that one out also got me a friendly chat with both the same guys AND a couple of job offers from a couple of investment outfits 😀

Recovery Whiskey

Gonna have to start calling you Diamond Hands BK109

bk109

Oh, no, that’s not an issue, because I keep meticulous notes on when/why/where I’m investing, my issue is that I’d rather go for an in-person interview than install Zoom on my machines (even in a sandbox/VM). At any rate, I get why they may be talking with the people that bought north of a million’s worth that aren’t affiliated

scotchnaut

Oof, the SEC? Do you speak Alabama?

Horatio Cornblower

Just bring Nick Saban in with you and they’ll let you do whatever you want.

scotchnaut

“Ummm, where’s her broom?”

Mothra was a bit of a one trick pony, tbh.

The Swiss apparently pronounce ‘Simon’ as ‘semen’, and 12-year-old me is now giggling like a school girl at every third run of this competition, because there are a lot of Swiss named Simon in this competition.

Brick Meathook

I may get some Vietnamese pho and banh mi for the big game.

Because it smells like victory, just like that one QB

blaxabbath

I have never had success making pho.

Brick Meathook

You need an ex-Viet Cong to make it right

Charlie’s in the treeline kitchen!

scotchnaut

You have two jobs?

blaxabbath

If Tampa Bay wins, it will be because of Todd Bowles and that man will then be deserving of a HC role with an organization that isn’t permanently fucked.

But it’s black history month so you can be assured that will not happen.

Horatio Cornblower

“Look at that huge unit get in their perfectly”

Sir, this is a family bobsledding competition, and I’ll thank you to remember that.

Horatio Cornblower

Watching bobsledding and the announcer just said that if you want to do well “you want to have as many sleds behind you as possible” and I imagine it’s that sort of insight that got him the job in the first place.

bk109

He probably meant that the fewer people in front of you, the better the condition of the ice?
Also you ok? I find myself paying attention to winter sports only when I’m about to come down with the flu

Horatio Cornblower

He might have, at that, I just sort of caught it while skimming this site and thought it was funny. In which case fair play to him.

I’m fine. I love winter sports; I’ll watch anything outdoors involving snow, ice, skis, skates, guns, (biathlon) or some combination of those things. Looking forward to xc-skiing myself tomorrow, if this snow we’re getting holds up.

Tigres is in the World Club Cup Final!
