In honour of a guy like Tim Tebow finally getting a chance in life, I give you one of Scotland’s greatest poets, Rod Stewart.

Tomorrow gonna be Sexy, so I’ll see you on the weekend. It’s a three-day weekend in Canada, so don’t expect a lot by way of coherence.
Watched the first few episodes of MODOK on Hulu. Not bad so far.
I am “cautiously optimistic”.
I’ve got a real life thing that explains why many folks should miss working at a physical location.
I’m a former smoker. Been about 12 years now.
Vaping doesn’t count because I don’t vape at work.
Anyway.
Doing some repetitious, physical prep-work for archiving some documents from the 80’s and you’ve got to take a break after awhile.
I go outside and hang out with the smokers group.
We’re all fully vaxxed but I’m still wearing my mask because I don’t smoke.
Start talking about shit mostly food, then for some reason we start talking about dogs.
Carl says “I’ve got this dog, I don’t even know what the fuck this dog is. Maybe a greyhound?”
CJ says :You don’t know what kind of dog it is?”
Carl says “Nah, man. We got it from a transient.”
CJ says: “You’ve got a transient dog?”
Carl: “No. We got him from a transient.”
/pretty serious laughs going
I say “Does he have his own shopping cart?”
/some of these guys are falling out, especially CJ.
Then I ask “Does the dog have little needle marks on his arm?”
I thought we were going to have to call an ambulance for CJ. He couldn’t even breathe.
“Has he got a pup tent?”
I can see why people miss human interaction.
CJ probably had to explain why he was laughing and in tears while he was taking the Metro home from work.
Made me almost want to start smoking again.
Almost.
These guys are fun as hell to hang out with and you’ve got to miss that working from home.
I went to the grocery store today and didn’t even flinch when people got closer than six feet from me. Nowhere near ready to ditch my mask, but it felt kind of like the olden days!
Duke is rocking a serious Devo energy dome.
It made me laugh!
I owned one. Saw Devo at the Forum in 1981.
So much wiggling.

Puebla might be in trouble.
Not if they were playing the French
Settle down Dennis Miller.
Fam in bed, I just discovered a new band, pretty high, had a bottle of wine, now whisky, I don’t need this Puebla shit.
The original Puebla came back to win, though.
There is a second leg!
Glenmorangie Thursday!
Reading allthe travel forums in anticipation of my upcoming trip, and I’m thoroughly entertained by all the people shit-talking Pommery
Apple allergies are always something to think about.
Yeah, people are super inconsiderate, they just pull out their iPhones without even asking if you’re allergic first!
Here is my tip: Imodium. Great for all the important situations.
Dok, I’m looking at Porto for a visit next April/May.
If you’ve been, any suggestions or tips would be welcome. We’re definitely going to an FC Porto match and may take a trip to Vigo Spain since it’s right off the rail line.
I’m a Euro-virgin and this will be the first recon trip.
Super excited.
I know its not music Friday or whatever but, Zymm, Ball et al may like this;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvjsAIpNy6I
Balls, I am sorry but it is unnatural for players to have 3 numbers on their kit.
That’s what they said about anal sex…
Who? Sodom or the other one?
Also, watching Top Chef and…
THIS KRISTIN KISH I CALL HER A POCKET PROTECTOR BECAUSE SHE IS COVERED IN INK AND NERDS REALLY LOVE HER.
We just had an exchange on the community slack channel that devolved into that scene in Futurama where Bender walks out in a huff and says “we hope to see you soon for tea.”
Bender quotes are surprisingly useful in everyday life
STOP:
BOOBIETIME!
Foligno admits he doesn’t think Perry intentionally injured Tavares but thinks he had to fight because “our captain’s laying on the ice.”
Hockey players have brain damage.
I read the interviews, you reckon they lay off a wee bit during the tussle?
It was not the most heated fight I’ve seen. Which is kind of what bothers me. If you actually think there was a cheap shot, and you’re angry about it, ok. But this “you didn’t do anything wrong, but [shrug] we gotta fight now” “[shrug] ok” stuff just seems so pointless.
That is 100% what it was. Let’s do this for the code bullshit.
This is why I love SexsiMexi
It is so crazy
I just got up for 2 minutes. WTH just happened?!?!
Santos happened
Mr. Balls, have I not said all season that Santos is the devil? They are fucking good. However if Cruz Azul makes the final Santos will totally Blue Cruise them.
I believe you are correct.
Ah shit.
Just need a road goal.
Fuck. Woke my son up. In trouble here….. GOOOOOOLLLLLL
Worth it.
Doesnt happen often.
See – Fulham
Due to our friend BallsofSteeletc, I have developed an absolute hate for Santos in SecsiMexi. I am not a rational person but I will ever, ever go there. I blame Balls a lot.
PUEBLA GOAL! MAYBE!
Maybe not. Boo.
Grand Qimen Pilsner with wasabi senbei is a quality pair
I read that as sensei and thought about a Mexi Pat Morita.
I see SexiMexcsi futbol wants to fuck me like English futbol. All is right in the world.
leafs will score now too.
It’s only 1 goal. Granted, it’s not great it’s only the first 5 minutes…
Short handed?
Oh man, the Leafs are a treasure to watch in the playoffs.
THIS MONTREAL POWER PLAY, I CALL IT DUNSTAN, BECAUSE IT JUST CAN’T SCORE NO MATTER HOW MANY CHANCES IT GETS.
Apparently being up a man was the problem.
THIS TORONTO POWER PLAY, I CALL IT “WOMEN OF THE 19TH CENTURY,” BECAUSE THEY LET BYRON SCORE
He was a bloomer dropper, that Byron. I would have done him!
#BANANACAKES ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
Can we just drop these employee protection rules/laws and, instead, just start fresh? Honestly, how is having useless rules in place better than none at all? It’s acting like you’ve fixed a problem knowing damn well that you have not.
If you’re management, that’s kind of the point.
I see that the Leafs scored, all of Canadia rejoiceth!
/ducks
I just received my 24 Fentiman’s ginger beers, off Amazon (Target quit stocking them). They were individually bubble wrapped. HippoSpawn is in bubble-popping mode now.
In short, Screw You, Mother Earth!!!
The worst person in the world is the person who invented unpoppable bubble wrap
We got the greatest bubble wrap in the history of the universe the other day. Bubbles about quarter sized. Soooooo good!
+1000 for the Sokka gif. Sokka was the comic relief who saved the day a third of the time. Odd and very nice.
I love it when Trump only PRETENDS to throw the ball, and McCarthy races off and then stops, confused. That never gets old.
Less than 48 hours before I leave for the Maldives. Got my travel test earlier today. Nasal swabs are ticklish in a non-fun way
They don’t go in as deep as they used to
I got my second
vaxwax last week. I have it from a prominent member of this board that within two weeks the itching will stop and I will be able to go out in public at long last.Carey Price will steal this game. The Toronto sports media will be fun.
Don’t curse it.
Have no dog in this race. Just love the T.O. Implosion.
Tavares ded. Nawt dirty hit.
But there’s still an obligatory fight after the next faceoff.
Jesus fuck. That was legit an accident.
Nothing Perry could’ve done. The scary part was Tavares trying to get up and the trainer trying desperately to not let him while grabbing his neck to keep his neck from moving
I’ve decided to get a hand transplant, preferably something in the size of a blue whale, if they have hands. Then when someone says “ya know your stomach is about as big as your fist, which is how much food you should eat in a meal” I’ll have the perfect retort.
I don’t know, introducing their face to your fist seems pretty good, too.
In 60 years of gluttony, no one has ever said that to me. Now that I’ve had the gastric bypass surgery, I think my “stomach” is about the size of a hacky-sack.
You sir, are our Kids Menu Hero!
If stretching is good for my other muscles I don’t see why it isn’t good for my stomach
I like to give the liver a good workout, too.
Hey, speaking of which…/heads to fridge
So, you just want a different sex partner?
Go Ice Alouettes go! That felt dirty, but not as dirty as the Ice Argos.
Office clerk (that is coming up on her fortieth year of employment and is still not at retirement age) begged me to cheer for the Leafs tonight. She used the same (opposite) argument.
Graham Chapman will play the part of Tim Tebow for 9 seconds here.

In “Nobody Could Have Possibly Seen This Coming” News:
My son temporarily lifted his sanction on opiates last night and this morning.
Folks are all over The Simpsons for “Predicting The Future”. Why no love for Always Sunny?

Someone got her hair did this morning.
…
…
…
“Ok, now give me pouty.” (clickclickclick) “Perfect, perfect. Very natural…” (clickclickclick)
Did she eventually surrender that spot to a German Shepherd? Looks like it.
“Open City unless you’re a kitty!”
Wait, Canadian Memorial Day is this weekend? I know you guys are always a step ahead on these holidays…
US is on Monday the 31st. But, because the books being closed ruins my life, I will most likely be working that day.
I’m old enough to remember the pre-Monday Holiday Bill holidays. Celebrating Memorial Day or Labor Day on a Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday always sucked.
It’s May 2-4, damnit, so named because you buy a 2-4 (case of beer).
Can’t buy 2-4s in BC. Cases are legally only 12.
The FUCK is up with you people? You can buy weed, but not a case of beer like God and John Molson intended?
Some of the liquor laws date back to the 1920’s brief fling with Prohibition, and the imposition of government-run liquor stores in the 1950s. They can’t change a case-size now thanks to groups like MADD losing their minds.
That’s barbaric.
Yup.
Isn’t it just that 24 is 4 six packs? I can buy a case of 40 so I don’t know how 24 would be an issue. Gotta get into the cheap beer section maybe.
BC case:

Rest of Canada case:
?fv=545E0762F0CEE120493F5A08A10E2513-25311
I don’t know where you’re buying beer man but I’ve regularly purchased boxes of 24, 30, and 40 cans.
https://www.bcliquorstores.com/product/33170
Maybe it’s just bottles then, because I can’t find 2-4s anywhere.
Well, they were three years ahead of us in actually getting into combat in WWI. We had to dip our beak into the war profiteering for a couple years before getting involved.
Rod Stewart married Rachel Hunter so he knows about luck.
Don’t forget mid-70s Britt Ekland.
I remember as youths with dirty minds that we all suspected Rod Stewart had an enormous penis which actually placed a weight-strain on his vocal cords and gave him his unique sounding voice. Also, chicks dug it.
It’s also possible those gals liked his model railroad.
I recall several decades ago reading an interview with Rod in which he was asked what his best pickup line was. He said something like “hey darlin’, what you got in that basket?”
That’s when I learned that pickup lines are bullshit and that it just really helps to be Rod Stewart.
About ladies, Rod proves it’s more about attitude than looks. Good role model, just terrible hairstyles.
