Well, we made it through another week. In keeping with my gerenal weekend themes of gifs & videos in lieu of actual words, I raise a glass to one and all.
As we crawl along towards both summer and the lifting of COVID restrictions, I’m reminded that there are a lot of fun sports possibilities on the horizon. There’s the Tokyo Olympics, the Euro 2020/1 and the Copa America tournaments, and an August full of Aaron Rodgers rumours.
But we are nominally a sports blog, voice in my head. It would be wrong to simply ignore the fact that is the annual training camp rite of passage in northern Wisconsin – the annual Pissing Off of the Franchise Quarterback.
But it’s been that way for nigh-on 15 years…
Fine. But this isn’t over, brain.
Deal!

Oh, and SNL is being hosted by Elon Musk, with Miley Cyrus as the musicsl guest. So that should be a shit show.
My advice is to pour a large glass of something alcoholic & settle in for the evening. We still have Sunday to look forward to.
SNL was terrible tonight and Elon Musk should be permanently encased in concrete.
If it had been the season finale it might actually have finished the show off.
I assume everyone who was nice to him got some Bitcoin.
Have you seen my Sisters of Mercy tattoo?

That rocket best not have landed on my Maldives hotel!
Your overwater and underrocket bungalow?
Maybe it’ll be a new dive site!
Brats pan cooked in butter and dark beer with sweet/yellow onion mix.
One brat is German, one is Hungarian, the third is Polish. Not sure which is which.
Meat, meat, meatymeat! That looks good. What kind(s) of mustard are you using?
One looks like it’s whole grain. The other one has to be Grey Poupon.
Medium hot, yes!
That’s good sausageing!
It’s easy, the German one will invade the space of the other two claiming it needs the lebensraum.
“That looks like a nice appetizer.” – Andy Reid, thinking this is a single photograph of nine separate pans
I had a physical on Monday and my physician recommended that I try the Keto diet to help move some numbers in to better positions.
I assumed a Keto diet was eating grubs and roots but boy was I wrong. It’s all protein and fats. Steak and eggs for breakfast, with a side of bacon! Hell yeah! Just no bread or pasta or carbs of any kind.
Tonight, real German brats from the Alpine Market in Torrance CA, pan fried in vintage cast iron with butter, onion, and German dark Dunker beer:
That’s interesting your doctor recommended that. I’d be interested to know how it works.
He’s been on it for years and he wears a yarmulke.
My physician is a DO, which is just as trained and qualified as an MD except an MD’s answer to everything is pharmaceuticals.
That’s great!
I’ve got some bad news for you about that beer….
Yeah, that’s a big ol carbo bomb. But ya gotta live a little.
It just boils in it and the alcohol all burns off. What little makes it to the plate is acceptable. I thought this through.
I’ve eaten sausage there. WITH YOU!
and RTD and Balls!
I did Atkins a while back. It works, and feels like a hack. “I’m eating bacon and losing weight?” After a while, though, you’ll go crazy for a sandwich. There might be better keto-friendly bread options now than there was when I was doing it way back when.
Beware sugar-free candy. Too much sugar alcohol will send you to the can in a hurry.
We’re having the last of the deep dish pizzas tonight. We also have some burrata that needs finishin’. It’s going to be a cheesy night.
The best kind of night!
I have some burrata and a couple of fine looking heirloom tomatoes, wish I had some better bread to go with it though
I had sausage totellini with alfredo, and a spoonful of pesto. Crescent rolls that I filled with a little more pesto. I am completely overcheesed.
I plan to watch the fuck out of the Euro this year. And then maybe go there, too.
Did anyone here gamble on where the Chinese rocket is going to land? I heard they were selling squares.
Place your bets and watch here:

Gumby sez he would happily spy for China if the biggest chunk lands on the Trump family.
If the Rona had subsided up here I would be heading to Glasgow. Sigh.

Once this bullshit is over I would very much like to go to France*, Scotland, the England and Germany among other European destinations
*St. Martin counts since it is technically France!
You can also drive a tiny bit and go to the Netherlands from St. Martin!
I have what I assume is an open ended voucher on Air Saint-Pierre. Was supposed to visit that little slice of France last July.
And St. Martin is awesome, sooo many good restaurants right on a quality beach!
SecsiMexi playoff time!
Fuck off with the National Anthem.
Always.
Yours, ours, or both?
Yes.
Elon & Miley on SNL? That’s an epic amount of crazy on one stage….
I’m hoping for a skit of a radio show in which Elon clears a 5 foot bong whilst Miley grinds on him.
It’s amazing to me that SNL is still a thing. I remember in high school people bitching about it not being good any more.
I was in high school when it started. It was good back then!
I am old as fuck.
I think people have been saying that since Belushi left…
I feel bad for Miley. She comes across as a friendly, goofy weirdo and people seem to hate on her way more than she deserves.
Like DFO?
