- It looks like the question blaxabbath asked is going to be answered, because the Seahawks are intent on bolstering their defensive line.
- They signed free agent Aldon Smith to a one-year deal, terms undisclosed.
- He will apparently be used in a rotational role, so it’s not like he’s getting $10 million per.
- It seems his one year with the Cowboys after a four-year “vacation” impressed enough people.

- The Falcons got Matt Ryan another target to overthrow by signing Cordarrelle Patterson.
- He’ll be getting $3 million this season to return kicks and be a checkdown option when Julio Jones isn’t open.

- Many players have announced through the union they will not be attending their team’s “voluntary, in-person offseason workouts”.
- But there’s no “official” boycott by the union, as numerous players have workout bonuses built into their contracts.
- A boycott would be making the union force some players not to collect their money.
- But there’s no “official” boycott by the union, as numerous players have workout bonuses built into their contracts.
- As of now, the union is “recommending” players stay away from any “voluntary” activities.
- Which will surely have Bill Belichick and many WEEI callers grumbling about the “Patriot Way”.
- I mean – c’mon, COVID has done enough damage to their vaunted draft screening.

Kind of a thin night. Tomorrow is Sexy Friday, so I’ll see you on the weekend.
Rockabilly Skeleton enjoys a cozy fire:
crickets out there. is everybody asleep?
Nope
i’m so bored i ended up reading the wall street journal
Hopefully not the opinion page. It’s like a circle jerk for people who think they’re contrarian intellectuals
I just printed out a new Red Cross emergency contact card for my wallet. It was pretty exciting.
I hope she finds someone who can feed and clothe her.
Wow!
Definitely neither Trevor Lawrence nor Matt Riddle.
Camera test:
It appears to be working.
Not if he wanted it in black and white
Skeleton Elvis looks good.
Hey, BFC, your dumplings are ready…
Just tell a bunch of strangers on the internet where you live and I’ll be right there
Well, I see no way that could go badly!
evening
Howdy!
I kind of want to build a tiny home that looks just like Bilbo’s house at the start of Lord of the Rings
I’m less interested in the house and more interested living in a quaint countryside with no apparent job or anything else to do rather than eat all day
I’m thinking they go together, along with a hammock and food delivery
seriously, is it ever explained what bilbo does for a living? like he’s rich compared to other hobbits, has a storeroom of food, and can leave for an adventure at a moment’s notice
I have a vague notion that he inherited all his stuff, but no clue how I got that idea. I read the books way back in middle/high school so if it was in there I don’t recall
I think that’s right. He was the hobbit equivalent of a trust fund kid.
Don’t forget about the pipe-weed!
Do it and charge admission to tour it. No refunds when its just a normal house.
The Tits were the first team with a gambling pardner. It was BetMgm aka the Game-Overs Appreciation Society.

Wait . . . is the host of Jeopardy . . . Aaron Rogers?
Yup. He guest hosted.
He’s been pretty damned good. His run ends tomorrow.
Fuck, I’m hungry.
You live in a city where you can get any ethnicity of food at any time. Dealers choice.
This is very true. We even have an Uyghur restaurant! At least until it gets replaced by a Chinese restaurant.

I could get down with Uyghur Goshnaan, looks really tasty.
It really does. The place is pretty close to me too.
I had been working straight through the day. Fortunately Lady BFC made dinner. Now back to work.
For coq au vin? Lotsa vin first then, you know…. surprise!
It would be great if I could bet on sports at home, rather than driving to New Hampshire to do it
But is it legal federally? Lol
yahoo sprots trying to make the wnba draft “breaking news.”
Here’s a 25B flashbulb in my Graflex flash unit. The bulb is filled with magnesium wool which instantaneously ignites when a small voltage is applied, producing a bright flash. The surface of the reflector looks scratched, but it isn’t; it’s in fact highly polished. The “scratches” are actually reflections of the magnesium wool inside the flashbulb.
Useful for temporarily blinding people so you can make your escape!
The #50 flashbulb on the right is what you really want for that. Its flash is more powerful than any portable electronic flash of any type. It’s atomic. They are coveted by spelunkers because they can light up vast caverns with maximum portability (it fits into the same Graflex holder above) and is fired by 2 D-cell batteries. When it fires (almost noiselessly) it can actually make your hair stand on end.
What a wonderful game.
The NHL can’t even get clown car night right. Fucking Bettman
Just bought a lightweight point-and-shoot camera, I’m thinking I want to avoid using my phone as much as possible when I go on my first real vacation in ages at the end of May. Plus who knew that so many cameras are waterproof nowadays? Not enough for scuba, but def for snorkling
It’s VERY smart to not take your phone snorkeling.

Making gyoza (pork, shrimp, and cabbage dumplings) tonight. Got to restock the freezer!
Yum! Those are among my favorite dumplings
I want some!
You’re allegedly nearby, right? Be an anti-Andy Reid and drop off some extras.
SPOILERS for Shameless episode from this Sunday…but to be fair, this is the standard reaction whenever someone puts these jerseys on for the first time.
‘Take them off right now!’ Bengals, Reds jerseys get heat in Showtime’s ‘Shameless’ finale (msn.com)
I tried with that show. They literally make every wrong decision every time.
Yeah, I watched every episode. Just about every character regressed from the start of the series to the end. Liam was just about the one who wasn’t loathsome at the end.
I’m assuming this is the US version? I enjoyed the first couple seasons of the UK version, but then stopped watching for some reason
What I’m listening to at the moment: https://popdose.com/popdose-conceptual-theater-ghost-story/
Ooh, he picture link good!
Well this is interesting. The penultimate track on that mix is by Brendan Kelly, who later went on to create the Nihilist Arby’s twitter account we know and love so much. The song of his I used was creepy as fuck:

My analogy of the Ice Bombers being Omar from The Wire still going strong.
I don’t understand. He is also Atlanta’s trash?
Get back to your fasting you.
Obviously that wasn’t going to last. Now I’m on the tomato-based condiment regimen.
If it’s raining cats and dogs, where are the cats?
So you eat everything with ketchup and/or barbecue sauce no matter the foodstuff?
The answer is catsup. I eat everything with hot sauce and mayonnaise. And cheez gravy.
