Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t.

We gots some squalls yesterday, which means we got about 10 inches of the white stuff, and not the good kind, dumped on us yesterday.  So will be getting a little workout in at lunch to clear the driveway.  And volunteers to help?  lol.  From Sharky’s scale it think it was a 3 slicer.  I did go to the grocery store and it was empty.  Not the the shelves; of people.  I did put the car in “fun” mode on the trip and slid a bit.  Stupid traction control cuts the power when trying to slide.  Even with it “off” it still kicks in.  I haven’t found a way to fully turn off the traction control yet.  It’s probably for the best, but still annoying that it can’t easily be disabled.

I was really confused last night when there was no footbawl game on.  Am I the only one?  My lovely wife went to bed early, so thought I’d get to watch the second half of the game, only to find hoopsball and the hockey instead.  Stupid NFL, I wanted to see a game.  I did manage to see the replay of just the OT in the KC  vs BUF game and wow.  Going to find the rest of the highlights today.  I always miss the great games.  I did see the LA vs TB game and was happy that it came down to the last play, but it’s got nothing on the other game.  

As a reminder, this post will cover comments made up to and through the Saturday Night Open Thread. Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post. Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.


Didn’t watch a single game, although I thought the Tomsula’s game might be enjoyable, but with it being bookended by a gangblow of Brady and a paen to a rapist, I did not feel altering the flow of my day. I did drop in on the open threads and check the scores on ESPN but that was all the enthusiasm I could muster. The NFL is becoming a casual hobby of mine due to the asshole owners, the lack of coaching talent, and the few horrible people playing the game. I guess I am mainly following now to be able to keep up and converse with everyone here, because that is where I am getting the most of my enjoyment of football from.

The last time I was this disappointed in Arizona was, well pretty much every time I’ve been to Arizona.

Just got hired back by my same school until the end of the school year, and even got a promotion to full-time! Celebrated by cross-country skiing through the fresh eighteen inches of snow outside my house to the local pharmacy/grocer for some frozen wings to eat during tonight’s game. Huzzah!

Reading about that American flight to London that turned around an hour after departing Miami for an anti mask asshole. I’m genuinely surprised the other passengers didn’t line up in the aisle to slap the shit out of her Airplane style.

Good day, my civilized colleagues! I have just returned from a mission to Mauritania — since the legal system in that nation is very primitive (some might say tribal!), it was very easy to lay the groundwork for the development of an iron mine that will keep the British Empire’s railways going for decades! While in transit back to Rhodesia, I received a telegram informing me that the group stage of the AFCON had concluded. Let’s take a closer look at the remaining sides (put on your reading glasses!):

The Squad of Dishonest Men: Well, thanks to their trickery, it’s no surprise that these liars and thieves have managed to slide into the next round. I should hope that they advance further — they’ll need the tournament winnings to pay back all of the African footballing officials that they undoubtedly bribed to get here.

French Equatorial Africa (Gabonese Quarter): The (Black) Panthers of Gabon are still missing their broken-hearted captain, which means that they probably won’t last much longer. I’m sure that many of their players will dust off their original French passports once they realize this.

Nigeria Protectorate: Despite their uncivilized appearance, these fine British subjects are sure favourites to win now that the Fennec Foxes have been taxidermied. The scammers will surely need to improve their tactics in the later rounds — Cameroonian officials can only be paid off so many times!

Tatooine: While the sand people did have a scare earlier on in the tournament, Obi Wan Kenobi was indeed correct — they did return, and in greater numbers. Nevertheless, their primitive tactics will not stand a chance against the world’s greatest empire!

French Guinea: I will wager twelve guineas that this side will lose its match against the divine nation of GAMBLOR in this round. After all, it’s the French way!

The Divine Nation of GAMBLOR: See above.

The Indomitable LioUns: The étoiles continue to shine on the home side, who still have the home officials in their back pocket. Will they make it to the final in true corrupt African fashion? I asked my colleague Peter King what he thought, and his answer was MAYBE!

Cumorrah: The luck most certainly has run out for these magic-underwear-wearing islanders — critics of this side will surely be saying “where’s your messiah now” after their tilt with the home side. Perhaps they’ll be happy enough with having polygamy to fall back on?

French Senegal: Mané and his men are not to be trifled with from this point forward — this squad will be a tough test for the Green Capers. I will be on the edge of my blood-stained leather chez lounge watching that match.

Green Capers: While this tournament has demonstrated that Green Capers are delicious on their own, they will need to try a new recipe against the Senegalese. Perhaps some Atlantic salmon is in order?

Atlas LioUns: These spicy gentlemen are holding the entire weight of their home country’s expectations on their shoulders — let us hope that they don’t shrug! They probably have the toughest test of the remaining teams — read below for more!

NYASALAND: These lads actually did it! They made the round of 16! Given their good fortune of being colonially English, it must be their divine right to defeat all foes! Go on, gents!

Ivory Coast: Unless they would like me to further develop their Ivory trade, I couldn’t care less about these baguette-eaters. They will lose to the Sultanate of Egypt.

Sultanate of Egypt: As long as they follow the lessons of old blighty rather than those of their failed civilization, they will defeat the Ivorians. There is no doubt in my mind that Mo Salah is English — what other reason explains his footballing prowess?

Timbuktu Fightin’ Traores: Want to change your maiden name to Traore? Well, then Mali is the place for you! If they win the tournament, perhaps they can use the winnings to rebuild the entire country — clay buildings don’t exactly hold up very well to punishment!

Equatorial Guinea: They will lose to the Traores. Not worth writing any more.

She is AWESOME! Great breakdown!

She ripped off her whole schtick from Cameron McGruder and in this sequence she repeats the ‘wouldn’t be the first time we thought Rodgers had a shot’ joke that Bum Chillups posted two days earlier without any kind of attribution.

GTD’s Fun In Da Snow is something I look forward to reading.

And by God and the Queen, Prime Minister Rhodes! Your dispatches would be glorious posts.

I agree. If you ever want to write a post, we’d love to read it!

h/t to Brocky for posting and to GTD for highlighting (since I missed the original post) that floppy disk pic — just sent it to my asshole cousin who is a ferociously unhinged NGCP fan. We are both too old for him to unfollow me, but I already got a hearty text “fuck you” and a middle finger emoji he managed to find. I anticipate this will be my highest and best accomplishment of the day.
