What’s In a Name? Saturday Night Openness

I am taking over Saturday night duties.  Which, until JV NFL starts, will be kind of awkward and empty.  I don’t even have EPL results to bitch about today (United humped Everton 4-nil in a friendly, but that’s MOAR LIEK “sun rose in the East” kind of news).

Someone mentioned (maybe on Slack) that we should have a fantasy team nomenclature post.  So, let’s get to it!

In my keeper/auction league, I have gone with Goyim Space Lasers.  I just absolutely LOVE the word “Goyim” plus there is a filthy Globalist smh in my league already.  I don’t need to cause any confusion.

The problem was “picture/gif” (I ain’t looking at Q-anon Barbie’s disgusting face all season), so I Googled “space lasers” and found a nice forest fire pic.  It was related to a San Francisco Chronicle article, where State authorities were seriously asking the public to please stop calling in and asking about space lasers.

What the fuck is wrong with humanity?  Oh well, nothing that #NuAIDS 2 – Delta Force! can’t handle.

Hit us up with your ideas, both ones you will use, and those that are hilariously offensive but you don’t have the bollocks to actually run with.

Actual sportsball?  Grumpy Old Man LaRussa and the Bastard Man Small Bears are on ABC for some reason (7p EST).  They’s a MexiDouble on TUDN (America y Puebla at 8p, Tigres y Santos at 10p).  Random friendly between Sevilla and Aston Villa (now Jack Grealish is a Cunt-free!) on ESPN2 (10p).  I assume the Olympics are still on, Hippo just ain’t care.  Probably some varietal of el beisbol, but Hippo ain’t care even less.

I went full metal white trash today, and I made a lemon poke cake with black cherry jello and cool whip. Sugar coma coming up!

“Full metal white trash” is sitting in the front yard, feet in an inflatable kiddie pool, two cases of PBR or Keystone Light already down and working on a third, while Motley Crue blasts out of a tape deck.

Was the *entire* thing a setup? Or did Guido just adapt once he realized the particulars of the situation?

A Wikiwalk has somehow led me to the transcripts of the 1st 1992 Presidential Debate, and Perot sounds more intelligent than I remembered, Clinton sounds like he’s only there to attack Bush, and Bush sounds like he’s offended he has to do the debate.

I’ve yet to look at the 2016 and 2020 debates. Honestly, I’m too afraid and too sober to look.

Doktor Zymm

Did you miss the “Abandon Hope all Ye who enter Here” warning on that section of Wikipedia?

Gumbygirl

My son was in 4th grade during that election. His class had a debate, Ben was Perot, and he won in a landslide.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I would encourage you to look up the worst losses the Bengals have suffered during the last 20 years, and watch the lowlights from those instead. It will be better for your psyche, trust me.

Figured out where in Denmark I’m gonna go before heading to the Faroescomment image

herodotus450

In Faroese, the name appears as Føroyar. Oyar represents the plural of oy, older Faroese for “island”.

Heh, the Island Islands

herodotus450

Isn’t that also the same explanation for “Iceland”? That it comes from “Island” somehow? 1000 years of human settlement with no TV and they couldn’t even come up with good names?

Anthony In TX

Urban legend says Iceland is green and Greenland is icy; this was done to confuse invaders.
That may sound stupid, but Donald Trump was president for 4 years and is still beloved by millions, so never underestimate the stupidity of large groups of people.

Ooh! Color me jealous. That place looks quaint.

You can see the hotel I’ll be staying at in that photo, it used to be the first tavern off the boat!

ceo: that’s way too many durans

exec: we can cut it down to just duran, sir

ceo: hmm now i’m worried that’s not enough durans

exec: i have an excellent idea then, sir

Anthony In TX

CFL must have slightly different pass interference rules than NFL, because I’ve seen 2 no-calls in this Argos-Stampeders game that would be immediate flags in the southern league.

It was me on the back-channel. I haven’t thought of a name for my DFO league team (where I still have to do a championship House of Pain), but there’s definitely ‘Rona references to make.

Is that a Phillip Seymour Hoffman in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Based solely on this screenshot I assume Criminal Minds is a comedy

“The Suicide Squad” was way better than what I thought it would’ve been. It removed what didn’t work with “Suicide Squad” and improved what did work. Its not a “Stop What You Are Doing And Watch This Great Movie Now!!!” thing, but its worth checking out.

Anthony In TX

I feel exactly the same!
It was big, dumb, and fun. It leaned into the innate silliness of characters like Polka Dot Man and Peacemaker and didn’t take itself too seriously or try too hard to be hi-larious. A nice balance of loud action and interesting characters. I think we can all agree to memory-hole the first Suicide Squad movie and refer to The Suicide Squad as THE Suicide Squad.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Big dumb and fun is why Gronkowskis exist

Anthony In TX

That’s a perfect encapsulation of the Gronkowski ethos.

TheRevanchist

I watched it and had the same opinion. My favorite was Milton.

Gumby’s ff team this year is The Rubber Band Man. My favorite one he had was a few years ago, Mr. Yuk.

One year in and Joe Burrow is already suffering from PTSD. At this rate, when the Bengals draft his replacement in two years, they’ll respond to the Commissioner calling his name in the NFL Draft by walking onto the stage hysterically screaming and crying.

On the one hand, I consider this a sign that society has gone too far and it may be time for everyone to calm down and celebrate what makes everyone different.

On the other hand, if I was the Governor, I would respond to this letter by announcing I am legal change my first name to “Gayforth”.

Orange boys are awesome! My sister in law has two, Edward and Crook. My current asshole is Henry. He’s 13, his momma dropped him off at Gumby’s warehouse in Alabama when he was a kitten. Totally feral, but I lured him out of the Nokia cabinet he was living in, and we took him home. We thought he was black, he was so filthy, but after a bath it turned out he was a beautiful gray tabby. I love him so much, I tell him he’s still a kitten and needs to stay one forever. He’s the last pet standing that we had when our son was alive. I can’t fathom life without him.

We have an orange boy who’s about 11 months old.
Still getting through the biteys, but he’s been fixed and definitely feels comfortable in our house.
Our nearly 12-year old dog just kind of deals with his existence.

Thank you! I had nothing to do with it.

You should photoshop in a starfield behind him so he looks like rocket cat.

Anthony In TX

I’ll strap a rainbow to his ass, a poptart to his belly, and call him a gritty reboot of Nyancat.

I should probably add that his name is Foxglove, but we usually call him Fox.

I don’t know why the pic posted sideways, and no, I am not flashing a “white power” sign with my hand shadow. It’s just my dainty little hotdog fingers trying to stay out of the way of the lens.

Looking forward to seeing and hearing the NBCSN/EPL broadcast team almost as much as the games. They’re a top-notch crew.
