As I was browsing YouTube last week looking for songs to play for you, I stumbled across a little bit of genius that got me to say out loud, “How the fuck did I not know about this???”. This is what is in store for you today on the videos.
As far as the pictures, I thought today would be a good day to do a special pictorial on a special lady that 2Pack brought to our attention. She is an Italian model with two tremendous talents and is quite knowledgeable about the calcio, or soccer as Americans call it or football as the English call it or futbol as normal people call it.
Anyhoo, you are in for a treat today.

YOU’RE-A-PRUDE

And now, for the music!
As I mentioned before, I’ve decided that I must take up the mantle that tWBS ran with and help to make this world a better place. I will do this in the one way he couldn’t: By introducing you to good music!
This week, I present to you songs from the Melbourne Ska Orchestra. They are a 34 member group that formed in 2013 and have taken the ska world by storm. In 2018, they released one song a week and then compiled the songs into an album. The songs I will play you are from that album. Predictably, they are covers, but oh my goodness they are good. I’ve also checked out their original stuff and it’s great. Enjoy!
Song Number One:
Canción Número Dos:
Chanson Numéro Trois:
Canzone numero quattro:
Canção número cinco

That’s all for this week, folks! Be good to each other and fly low and avoid the radar.
Shit like this makes me feel better about myself. What a bunch of butthurt douches.
I’m glad stuff like this didn’t exist when I was in my early twenties because it would have probably appealed to me a great deal. Then again, I probably wouldn’t have wanted to remain a total fucking loser for the rest of my life so hopefully I’d have outgrown it in fairly short order.
An overlooked element of this whole pandemic is nobody can tell if your ass smells like Ozzfest.
Senor Balls your music selection was excellent this evening. The Get Smart clip worked.
Happy Friday everyone!
And a prosperous Saturday too!
I was at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake. Some random memories:
1) Seeing various NHL stars at the airport
2) Watching a certain hockey journalist be very chummy with the head of the NHLPA at a bar. During the subsequent NHL lockout, I noticed a certain slant in said journalist’s writing.
3) In the same bar, noting my belief that you shouldn’t be an Olympic sport if you have a “kiss and cry area” and getting a snort-laugh from a then-notable hockey broadcaster
4) Possibly a different bar, having some guy brag to me about how he worked for Fox Broadcasting, at which point I mocked them for their stupid glowing puck.
5) Having one of the ladies volunteering at the entrance to the Mormon Temple see my Team Canada hockey jersey sincerely ask me if I was one of the players
6) My friend and I exiting the arena after Canada’s narrow win over Germany in the round robin and snapping at other Canadians that we are obviously in trouble if we barely beat the Germans (we were not)
7) Having everyone tell us how sorry they were that Canadian figure skaters Jamie Sale and whatever her male partner’s name was got screwed by the officials.
Sadly, #7 has been tainted by the fact that Sale recently came out in support of the idiotic “trucker convoy” in Canada. She was fucking adorable back then, I may have referred to her as my future wife.
I’m sorry you were in Utah, which is the Ohio of the west.
It’s really beautiful when you’re flying in.
Oh, I almost forgot this story: my friend and I went to see the curling (of course we did), which was held in a town about an hour or so away from SLC. There was some kind of screw up with the Olympic shuttle buses, so we were stranded there, as were some 18-ish kids we met there. I think they were Mormon locals who had volunteered for the Olympics and used their volunteer passes to check out this event. Anyway, my friend and I ended up dropping a couple hundred dollars to pay for two cabs to get us all back to the city, which was nice of us, but I also made several very filthy jokes that shocked them all, so it balances out.
It is pretty from the air! I’ve driven through it too, but I didn’t stop. I’m skeered of Mormons.
I had a really scary greyhound bus ride through Utah. Both times.
I’ve lived here for 43 years, it’s more comparable to West Virginia.
I’ve got drinking stories from 1996, before they changed the liquor laws for the Olympics. That place was pretty fucking weird before they invited the world over to play.
For every step this place takes forward towards adulthood, it takes two steps back.
Canadian women’s hockey is handling Finland. Cool sweaters!
Well the Olympics are open which means it’a time for important questions!

I bet he’d kick an ass or two.
I swam 2500 yards today. That’s a personal best by a good 700 yards.
Was a shark chasing you? That just seems wrong.
You are going to sleep like a baby tonight. And I don’t mean fussing because your diaper is full.
Beats my personal best by about 2300 yards
Room temp take:I think the Bond cover is better than the original
Marika is just a couple more reasons why following the footie action is so very popular over here.
These new girl scout cookies are a little weird, but tasty.
The secret ingredient is people.
“Oh, are trading stories about eating girl scouts?” — Matt Gaetz
Are they chewy like brownies? I need to find a girl scout.
I just read that back to myself. That was all kinds of wrong!
Definitely not chewy, but that is also what we were expecting.
Ping me if you want the link to my niece’s girl scout cookie page
Edit: looks like they may be out of the weird brownie ones on the site, though
No more Olympics for me, it’s time for Project Runway!

Why do I cry at the opening ceremonies? There’s no need to cry, but here I am sober and crying. Time to remedy one of these things.
I feel like using cute Chinese children in puffy coats is cheating.
Gumby and I were laughing about that. “See, we’re not murderous bastards with imperialistic ambitions! Look at our cute tots!”
As shields or ammo?
Still working on tonight’s dinner, but I’m already thinking about tomorrow night’s. That’s the kind of advanced thinking you usually only find on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
Anyway, what I’m thinking is that I haven’t made yeah right’s Gochugang chicken in a while:
https://doorfliesopen.com/2020/06/14/sunday-gravy-with-yeah-right-slow-roasted-gochujang-chicken/
I’ve got breakfast planned (steak and spinach omelette) but not sure about dinner. Maybe dumplings, since we’ve got an entire freezer full.
Who thought Italian ponchos were a good idea?
I feel that Zymm has a velour edition of that.
For some reason it makes me think of Happy Feet.
It is pretty much unanimous here… that look is a train wreck.
Most of Italy, pretty much in unison : WTF!!!
Great Britain has the best flag ever.
End of transmission.
You forgot to switch to your Cecil Rhodes account
Consider me flattered
I just Googled curler Shannon Birchard, and one of the top results was one of BC Dick’s posts here. (Yes, ok, Google probably knows I visit this site a lot, but it still amuses me.)
Found a funny;
me: my father shall hear of this
them: is he powerful and wealthy?
me: no we’re just close
One thing’s for sure: the Ottawa Senators will not lose tonight.
/little scheduling humor for you all there
NFL skills show down or NHL All-star skills?
They should have to switch. Let’s see the NFL guys skate, and the NHL guys kick field goals
Oh, and let’s have the commissioners switch, too. Roger Goodell can explain why it’s fine that the Blackhawks have learned nothing from their abuse scandal, and how hockey is totally going to succeed in Arizona, while Bettman insists that there’s no racism in the NFL.
Quinnipiac/St. Peter’s basketball or Co-Ed Olympic curling? I’ll take the latter.
First cocktail hitting the system…. ah, that’s the good stuff.
I’m going to drink Cuba Librés tonight. I cannot wait to get started.
Oh I forgot to mention that we’re also having nachos.
Of course there will be nachos at your place, who else is going to serve the food?
e
No accent? Damnit, I thought I was being all cool.
I know this may shock you. I am drinking red wine and smoking weed.
I will be switching to wine later once dinner is ready.
Narrator: They were not shocked.
