Good day to you! We need something to look at and chat on this Sunday as we are the week off between the conference finals and the Superb Owl. So here is a quick Karen Carpenter for you. Do I have anything to say? No. Will this feed the DFO content monster? Sure.
I am really getting in to Italian wines this winter and I really don’t know why. When I wrote my somm exam many years ago it was the country that I did not spend much time on as France and the Iberian peninsula were more important for me to learn. I think it has to do with all the weirdo indigenous grapes that they grow there and I didn’t have time to memorize them. Anywhoo I am all over the boot this winter. I’ve always been an Amarone fan as they are full bodied and silky, but they are quite expensive. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative then get yourself a Ripassa and let it sit for an hour. A trick I used to use when I was backpacking is that I used to bring a juice jug with me. When at a picnic or whatever pour the wine in the juice jug and then back into the bottle and it now has been double aerated.
The only thing that I can think of that is on today is the AFCON final or as I like to call it the Hippo Hate final as Mane and Salah will be getting slobbered all over no matter the country of origin of your announcing team. Egypt has won this thing quite a few times judging by the stars on their kits, so let’s have Senegal win. As an aside I think it is hilarious that the hosts Cameroon aren’t here and they got stomped by the Burkina Fascists in the third place game. I get in the Olympics having the bronze medal game but why the hell do they do this. No one wants to be there , however the coup in Burkina Faso probably means they don’t really want to go home either.
There is also the Olympics but it most likely will be tape delayed.
Yam FC continues there surprising start atop LigaMx and they play Queretaro, Teddy Atlas plays Santos, and the Tigers take on El Buccanero.
How are you enjoying your Sunday in the endless depressing winter? Or what do you plan on sticking in your food hole next weekend?
Fucking USA network is changing sports.
Dammit! I wanted to see the Israeli and Bolivian skiers!!
They used to show way more no-hopers. I remember seeing figure skaters crash through the boards on the reg.. And I vividly remember a girl in pairs getting slammed face first into the ice on a bad lift and spitting teeth out.

-Ray Rice
YES! That’s really part of the appeal of the Olympics.
I haven’t seen a group of Europeans so proudly displaying their Heads since…oh, right, I promised I’d keep the details of that night private.
I still say you need to write a book.
“Incidental Loads” is what I’m going to call my chain of laundromats and abortion clinics, coming soon to a city near you.
You know what I’m calling that…
Suds and Duds?
Incidental Loads is the title of my AVN Award- winning featurette.
Let us hope the Pulitzer committee comes to their senses!
Hrobat is nawt a Battlebot.
Average speed is 69 MPH?
/ looks for Scotchy
// doesn’t see him
Nice.

Anyone else remember when downhill skiing was dominated by someone from Lichtenstein, which I still doubt is a real country?
I remember Franz Klammer, who somehow wasn’t a lesbian porn star.
God, that’s good!
If I hadn’t already heard of it I’d have assumed Lichtenstein was a made-up country from one of those Christmas princess movies.
“Sounds like something Soros would invent”
-35% of the country.
Also I have been there AND have a commemorative passport stamp to prove it.
TAKE THAT, GUYS WHO HAVE BEEN LOTS MORE PLACES!
There’s another crash!
Oh fuck did Britt Reid somehow get ahold of another vehicle?
That’s a great idea. Load ol’ Britt up with booze and pills, slap some skis on him, and see if he can set a speed record on an Olympic course.
“Will that finally win me father of the year?”
–Andy R.
“Pfft. Everyone else is just competing for second place at this point.” – Tyreek H.
“No one’s gettin the drop on me.”
-E. Clapton
I was just about to say that figure skating was probably good preparation for ski racing, good for body control, and then the Canadian skier wiped out.
Has anyone died in the downhill yet? Because I’m scared shitless and I’m on my couch.
Not for lack of trying, but they’ve all survived so far.
Wikipedia says that an Aussie died in ‘64 when he hit a tree during downhill practice, but nothing during competition.
The Olympics have, however, killed multiple horses.
“BASTARDS!”
-C. The G.
Ever? Oh, absolutely.
I think this is the most famous one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gernot_Reinstadler
I remember this.
I meant on this insane hill, but also yes
The second guy down the hill today crashed and was carried down on the sled. He’s alive but he definitely hurt something.
Sonny Bono and one of those lucky, lucky Kennedy’s.
Rose?
Maybe the one that got lobotomized for being a slut.
Nancy Reagan?
Nance would have totally blown a Kennedy.
Probably did blow George at least.
YOU KNOW IT BROTHER
There’s no I in team, but there are several of them in Olympic Gold Medalist, so if I were in my 4th Olympics and in first place I’d be calling everyone at the top of the hill and giving the absolute worst advice about the hill I could think of.
