Sailing with 32 colonists from Fra–

Sorry – I lost my mind there for a second.

Anyway, it’s the first day of a three-day US holiday weekend, so I’m not doing that much because, frankly, I don’t know how many of you will be here. But since I dragged you down the French-Canadian path, let me leave you with the lovechild of Samantha Fox & Rene Simard, Mitsou.

There’s a lot of fireworks going off in Los Angeles this evening.

yeah right

Just sent a text to Eldest right and said I’m kidnapping Eldest granddaughter and we’re going to 6 flags and we’re riding some coasters. This girl ain’t scared.

Everything is awesome!

Sydney is HAMMERING West Coast in Geelong. Great game by the Swans.

yeah right

I’ll watching Elia Kazan and James Dean in East of Eden.

Holy shit

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hospital Playlist is a Korean show that is basically like Grey’s Anatomy but I don’t want to see every character die in a fire, and also they show the doctors eating a lot of meals. Also there’s no sex.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Like, instead of having sex with each other, the doctors go out for dinner.

Oh, also there’s no violence, because South Korea is not a dangerous country filled with overgrown children who think that punching, stabbing, or shooting someone is a good way to deal with problems and their television industry doesn’t glamorize that kind of stuff because the audiences don’t demand it.

Oh and there’s a musical performance every episode. The doctors are all in a band together.

ballsofsteelandfury

I’m watching my 5th soccer game today (Mexico v Nigeria with Mexico already up 1-0).

This may be a personal record.

ballsofsteelandfury

Make that 2-0.

In the 4th minute.

ballsofsteelandfury

The third goal for Argentina by Messi was a thing of beauty. A true golazo.

herodotus450

Isn’t REM the genesis of moon landing conspiracies? Their lyric is “if you believe we put a man on the moon.” What are they trying to insinuate, exactly?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They also wanted to dig up the corpse of Joseph McCarthy for some reason.

Gumbygirl

Ooh, My Man Godfrey is on PBS. Later gators

herodotus450

I propose we change the name of December to July so that, because it gets dark around 4 pm, we can have lots of fireworks and etc. and be done by 8 and we can all go to bed at a reasonable hour.

litre_cola

Why are you guys fireworking on the 3rd?

herodotus450

Hmm you’re right. We should rename December to “July 4th” so people can shoot off fireworks for the entire month, but also ensure that said explosions take place before the witching hour.

Redshirt

I have people within hearing distance who does fireworks on the 14th of September.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yup Mexican Independence Day

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I mean this is basically the argument in favor of “permanent daylight savings”.

herodotus450

Is that the one where we just “fall back” every six months, and never spring back forward?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s the one where noon no longer means “the middle of the day”.

Redshirt

Watching the 1975 Steelers highlights on NFL Network and, surprisingly, I don’t have any hatred for the Steel Curtain owning the division and costing the early-mid 70s Bengals division championships and possible playoff runs. Its wasn’t petty or personal; the Bengals were great but the Steelers were just better.

Even Steelers S Mike Wagner admitted it: “Looking back, I could see Cincinnati and Houston had great teams and its a shame they couldn’t turn that into playoff runs. We were just in the way.”

Maybe it was poetic justice for Paul Brown not only passing over Bill Walsh, but blacklisting him to other teams. If your ego is going to spite the gift the Football Gods have bestowed upon you, than may you be forever cursed with short playoff runs and your two Super Bowl trips ended and the guy you threw away.

At the very least, its nice seeing the pre-stripes jerseys in motion.

Half order of lasagna is a helluva side

Gumbygirl

Do you still get the potatoes and garlic bread?

litre_cola

Are you in BC Dick’s hometown? That seems awfully familiar.

BC Dick

I sure hope it is

herodotus450

i assume this means a literal half sheet pan of lasagna

yeah right

Now I can work with that!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’m gassy

litre_cola

Unlike your vehicles amirite?

blaxabbath

Wife is making brisket tonight. I’m doing the blueberry cobbler.

Gumbygirl

Oh God, why can’t I have nice things? My phone is dying. I say it’s not really dying, it’s just experiencing existential ennui. But I will put it on the charger just in case.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

As usual, I’m having peaches.

litre_cola

Geldof? Just looked into it and she had passed away. No joke here, keep moving.

Gumbygirl

Have you tried grilling them? They are really good with ice cream.

ballsofsteelandfury

That is an excellent suggestion. Grilled peaches are awesome.

litre_cola

Grilled peaches, prosciutto, buffalo mozza, some greens, white wine vinaigrette and you are in flavoUr country

Gumbygirl

Now I’m slobbering. I’m having pieogies with onions, sauerkraut, and sausage. Chicken sausage, so it should be soft enough for Gumby. Normally we prefer a bit more snap, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I even rinsed the kraut (blasphemy!) to try and keep it from burning his mouth.

BC Dick

I’ve never hated you more than right now.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Mainly I’m just eating them solo. I’ve cut up a few and eaten them with oatmeal and vanilla ice cream.

yeah right

I like your dedication to craft.

litre_cola

These Ecuador kits are phenomenal.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’ve always wanted to build my own Ecuador. Where’d you get it, Amazon?

SonOfSpam

I like supporting small local businesses, so I picked up a Liechtenstein kit at Kitty’s Country Kits (right off the 91) last month. When I finish it, I’ll go for a bigger one.

Word of advice, start with Monaco. You get casinos and a nice sea view right in your garage.

Deci just ran out in to the living room naked. That was odd.

SonOfSpam

Would give this a +1 because we are a No Pants site, but I don’t wanna get put on a list. I mean, THAT kind of list.

Viva La Tabula Raza

From which room did he emerge? Bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, or…?

SonOfSpam

(guest room where Kevin Spacey’s staying)

litre_cola

Well, he was in his room and came in to the living room on a dead sprint and said I AM NAKED! To which I replied why?

“Cold shower time let’s go Dad!!!”

Beats the half an hour bath time tbh

Gumbygirl

He was alone in his room, and now he needs a cold shower? Congratulations, dad, yer boy has discovered porn!

litre_cola

He is 4, so I sure as hell hope not. My buddy caught his 11 year old having a go in the car while Dad went in to the store. I laughed, a talk was had between father and son apparently.

Hey!
Padres game is back!

gooo Padres!!!

Gumbygirl

Guys, I have a ginormous booger. Newsom needs to mobilize the National Guard.

ballsofsteelandfury

PICK A WINNER!!

Gumbygirl

This fucker is deeply entrenched. It may require military intervention. A well-placed bunker buster, at least.

Fronkenshteen

I took Yu Darvish Over 7.5 strikeouts as part of a parlay. The game was delayed by rain with 2 outs in the bottom of the 4th, with Darvish at 7 Ks up 0-2 on Didi Gregorious. I am the mush of the universe.

ballsofsteelandfury

Wow! The Colombian goalie came up huge!

Don T

Ugh. When’s September?

Uruguay coach kissed his goalie on the cheek.
You: “Lose this tame, I’ll beat ya with my crutch”.

Well, well, well, Decilitre is not in last place in the pool.

ballsofsteelandfury

He’s rallied like a champ!

Gumbygirl

Even if I blow the last three games, and I probably will, I take comfort in knowing the youngster can’t overtake me. Unlike some of you!

Ok, weird, that one was muted. This is not a charade!

We’re going to PKs. I’m putting the O/U on misses at 3.

Muslera’s hurt before PKs?

ballsofsteelandfury

If, God Forbid, Argentina wins the Copa and England wins the Euro, I propose a game between them to be held in Giants Stadium in NY.

Winner gets the Falkland Islands / Las Islas Malvinas.

They should have another war, in Giants Stadium. I would pay per view the fuck out of that!

With dominion day and America’s birthday so close together are there not border parties at midnight on July 2nd? I can’t be the only one. We could get loaded up and play bádminton across nets on the border. Or one long net. Score keeping would be a struggle.

blaxabbath

America likes to sleep in the fourth.
