I promise – no novels tonight. Instead it’s July 3rd, and you know what that means…
It’s the anniversary of Samuel de Champlain founding Quebec in 1608!
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.
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!
Celebrating the freedom to… ride!
Sydney is HAMMERING West Coast in Geelong. Great game by the Swans.
I’ll watching Elia Kazan and James Dean in East of Eden.
Holy shit
Shit’s intense.
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.
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.
I’m watching my 5th soccer game today (Mexico v Nigeria with Mexico already up 1-0).
This may be a personal record.
Make that 2-0.
In the 4th minute.
Have you bet on them all? Because that’s be riding the dragon.
The third goal for Argentina by Messi was a thing of beauty. A true golazo.
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?
They also wanted to dig up the corpse of Joseph McCarthy for some reason.
Ooh, My Man Godfrey is on PBS. Later gators
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.
Why are you guys fireworking on the 3rd?
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.
I have people within hearing distance who does fireworks on the 14th of September.
Yup Mexican Independence Day
I mean this is basically the argument in favor of “permanent daylight savings”.
Is that the one where we just “fall back” every six months, and never spring back forward?
It’s the one where noon no longer means “the middle of the day”.
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.
Best jersey that team had.
I… Just… WOW
Is that the Andy Reid?
/pats himself on the back for beating RTD to the joke.
Half order of lasagna is a helluva side
Do you still get the potatoes and garlic bread?
Are you in BC Dick’s hometown? That seems awfully familiar.
I sure hope it is
i assume this means a literal half sheet pan of lasagna
Now I can work with that!
I’m gassy
Unlike your vehicles amirite?
Wife is making brisket tonight. I’m doing the blueberry cobbler.
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.
As usual, I’m having peaches.
Geldof? Just looked into it and she had passed away. No joke here, keep moving.
Have you tried grilling them? They are really good with ice cream.
That is an excellent suggestion. Grilled peaches are awesome.
Grilled peaches, prosciutto, buffalo mozza, some greens, white wine vinaigrette and you are in flavoUr country
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.
I’ve never hated you more than right now.
Mainly I’m just eating them solo. I’ve cut up a few and eaten them with oatmeal and vanilla ice cream.
I like your dedication to craft.
These Ecuador kits are phenomenal.
I’ve always wanted to build my own Ecuador. Where’d you get it, Amazon?
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.
[buys Kelly Monaco blow-up doll by mistake]
[does not regret purchase]
Nailed it

Lol
Deci just ran out in to the living room naked. That was odd.
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.
From which room did he emerge? Bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, or…?
(guest room where Kevin Spacey’s staying)
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
He was alone in his room, and now he needs a cold shower? Congratulations, dad, yer boy has discovered porn!
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.
Eleven years old is a bit early to be an exhibitionist.
The truck didn’t have tinted windows either….
“ +SIXTY-NINE! “

Kids are wonderful and weird!
Hey!
Padres game is back!
gooo Padres!!!
Guys, I have a ginormous booger. Newsom needs to mobilize the National Guard.
PICK A WINNER!!
This fucker is deeply entrenched. It may require military intervention. A well-placed bunker buster, at least.

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.
Wow! The Colombian goalie came up huge!
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.
He’s rallied like a champ!
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!
https://youtu.be/3HUGeA2lur4
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?
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.
And the Top Gear/Grand Tour guys can be the booth announcers. They had a GREAT time in Argentina.
They should have another war, in Giants Stadium. I would pay per view the fuck out of that!
URU : COL has been a beer and Tylenol kinda game.
Ay Jesú
Esto va a penales.
fatal fatal
Lotsa arguing, not much bloodlust. Civility ruins sport.
Goalie saving Uruguay’s bacon.
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.
America likes to sleep in the fourth.
its raining at the Phillies vs Padres game
2nd rain delay
thats not rocking
I saw that it was raining and the power was out at the Trump rage rally in Sarasota.
That IS rocking.
J’aime… uh…
This band
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dlH24EoBBTI
J’aime aussi! The guy with the tambourine is my darling!
I partied with Mitsou in 1994 when I went to Uni in Mtl. She was absolutely lovely and indeed was a bombshell.
.
Let’s try that again.
ALL-NIGHTER!
Is this Uruguay vs Columbia game gonna be rocking in the 2nd half?
Idk if I should watch it…
Oui! Tu devrais le voir!
Le jeu de la Coupe D’Amérique entre les meilleures Guays et les experts du café est 0-0 au moment. Mais, le but viens bientôt!
Exactement!
Un des ces jours, je vais écrire une poste seulement en français.
Pas de probleme ici, seul chose est que je n’ai pas d’accents ou cedilles sur mon ordinateur.
Moi aussi. La seule machine que les tiens est mon téléphone cellulaire.
Ca c’est une bonne idee. Merci!
Yo quiero una mesa para dos personas, por favor.
WHEN IS THE BIG BOXING MATCH???
Donde es el banjo?
En la casa del Señor Weaselo
Ou se trouvent les toilettes?
C’est un très bon exemple de quart-asserie!!
Merci!
