That’s all for this week, folks! Be good to each other and fly low and avoid the radar.
EagleDong is patriotic.
Cecil Rhodes is no doubt displeased that these upstart rebellions are besting his loyal Queen’s subjects. Perhaps we should fortify the White House to avoid another unfortunate conflagration.
Starting to see what happens when a bigger, slower team beats on a smaller faster team for 30+ minutes
You could see that coming. US was not paying attention to the corners on the PP
The men’s powerplay is just as bad as the women’s
Multiple instances of crashing in from the point without any coverage behind.
Are we not doing ‘phrasing’ anymore?
Grew up in Tampa and drafted by Winnipeg?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!
That guy’s gonna die
It’s only 9!!! How can that be? I’m gonna go read, I have to take a bunch of stuff down to the new house and let the cleaners in tomorrow morning. Good night!
If you land more than an hour late, the airline should have to refund passengers and pay pilots and flight attendants more.
May fuck up safety but it will keep them motivated to get things happening on time.
What are they gonna do, floor the gas?
Figure out a more efficient queueing system for deicing?
I can’t tell if Claude Julien has notes in his hand or a menu with early bird specials, but I’d bet on the latter.

That’s fantastic
THIS GAME I CALL IT YORK, BECAUSE CANADA IS GETTING SACKED!!!
/waits patiently for the Canadien comeback so he can call the game Washington DC
Just tell them Mar a Lago is the white house and let them burn it
This game will end 54-40, but no fights because that’s 5 and a match penalty.
I’ve always had a thing for red tiger stripes. Guess I’m rooting for the bengals this weekend
And I can’t post links?
You claimed you’re rooting for the Bengals. You’re lucky I didn’t deactivate your account.

You can do anything if you believe me n yourself.

Ah, Got it!. They’re wearing black to celebrate the colour of the underwear of all the truckers in the Freedom Convoy!
Don’t see how Canada can lose, wearing their traditional colours of red and, um, ah, er, black…
O CANADA
OUR COLORS INCLUDE BLACK

Tell me more of this bacon…
WE HAVE LOTS OF TREES, AND SOME GEDDY LEES

Ottawa Redblacks taking over!
The decision by these teams to let a couple of Make-A-Wish kids play goalie, while
admirable, seems questionable at best.
Kinda wish Commesso started. I started following him since I started working with his uncle
Hope everyone took the over
No shit
Wow, Canada’s goal was as ass-ugly as their uniforms. How do you fuck that up,USA goalie whose name I don’t know and am not going to have to if you don’t start stopping beach balls like that?
Wooooof that was bad
That’s also what she said.
That didn’t take long.
That’s what she said.

Wow, Canada’s uniforms are ass-ugly.
Just like that stupid goal.
Where’s VAR when you need it?
Canada is using amateurs too, right?
I know the Russkies are using KHL players, so that’s where the gold is going.
It’ll be ours in a month thanks to sanctions.
./has no idea how anything works
We’ll get it while Canada is distracted shooting all their truckers
Sans Eric Staal
We all have out beverage of choice in hand for USA-Canada, right?
Yup
Yeah, for the game. Sure, that’s it.
When be it?
11:00 best coast time, on the USA Network.
Which seems like a conflict of interest, but isn’t.
Thank you!
I got to fire Geico today, yay! Fuckers had it coming. I’ve been a customer for over 30 years, and they kept on jacking up my rate. Today they’re all ” let’s see if we can do better.” Ummm, no.

We got a BALLS DEEP on the sheet! Phew
I used to think this band was called “Drowning, Not Waving” which I think would have been better.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AWu7d5YqV9k
The Irish guy took the lead at the finish and collapsed. Of course, all the really good skiers are still to come, (staggered start), so much like the Easter Rising it seems like a good idea, poorly executed.
Well, that didn’t last. Turns out the Finnish team showed up.
To be fair, he was pretty drunk.
Did the announcer make a reference to Guinness when the guy crossed the line?
Of course he did.
Hey, it’s progress if he didn’t mention “getting bombed”
Or something about not having eaten enough potatoes in his pre-race meal.
I would love to see what happened if someone loaded up on potatoes and then tried to do a XC race.
That episode is SO GREAT.
Pretty? nope.
In Turkish it’s Tahran instead of Tehran
In Amurikkka it’s Tehrarist.

Timbuk 3 being a great band is a hill I’m willing to die on. I’m dedicating “Facts About Cats” to Hippo.

Goddammit! Ireland has a cross-country skier! That was my only chance at making the Olympics.
Biathalon? Luge?
After skiing a couple of clicks I wouldn’t be able to hit the broad side of a bull’s ass from 20’ away, let alone those targets.
Luge is a possibility, assuming they let me corpse take the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th runs.
So I guess we shouldn’t bring you on our next skiing moose hunt
Curling
No chance. I’d get drunk and fling the rocks all over the place.
Eh, that’s pretty much how it works.
If this thread gets any more 80’s-early 90’s we’re going to find it jerking off in a closet with a belt around its neck.

I remember these guys tearing up the old Student Union at UConn.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ggov4JgRG34
These guys were fantastic, although Steve Albini was definitely a bit of a dick.
If we are all bringing back up (sorry, Ms. Carpenter) the “cool for music dweebs (like me)” one’s freshman year, I’mma go with Ned’s:

We also played UConn in Reynolds Coliseum that year. Y’all pushed our shit in. It portended a theme…
I remember your Wolven Sort returning the favor at Gampel with a back court duo called ‘Fire & Ice’
Yes, those guys were from my high school years. Graduated the year before I got to Raleigh.
I did sit next to Rodney Monroe (Ice) on a plane. Super nice dude.
I legitimately think every white guy (and even a few black guys) on my floor bought a copy of that CD
Anyone remember Sonic Youth? Has the name of the band aged well?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvDuATZCY8I&ab_channel=SL
Definitely! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the name.
I mean, if they’re still touring I suspect it’s a little weird when they take the stage….
“And let’s have a big Hartford welcome
for Sonic AARP!!”
Sonic Git Off-a Mah Lawn!!!
Remember them well.

Is that a serious question? How could anyone not remember Sonic Youth?

I grew up in a community that had nothing but AM radio and was 8 hours away from Toronto. It was a minor miracle that I came across this band.
So what are everyone’s Super Bowl plans? I’m getting together with a couple of friends, either at my place or someone else’s, but either way I’m in charge of food.
Plan is a metric fuck-ton of wings with a variety of sauces*, chili, shrimp cocktail, and not sure what else yet. Probably nachos with the aforementioned chili and guacamole.
*- Bought a couple of ghost pepper wing sauces, but also making my own with some butter and reaper powder, another one with a gochujang thing going on, and maybe a lemon black pepper parmesan to take the heat off. Going to use the air fryer for the wings and finally get some use out of it.
I’ll be at home with the Dr. Mrs. (who probably will not be watching) and expect to be doing a boatload of commentin’ here.
Always room for one (or two) more here
Appreciate the offer but our plans aren’t solid – we’re spending Saturday night in Santa Barbara and I’m not sure what time we’ll be getting back. Hopefully by kickoff!
Staying home, Mrs says she wants to watch it too. Much food/beer will be consumed.
Making elk chili for the first time. Watch the game with my cats and imaginary friends.
Oh, I demand a post-game report on that. I’ve made moose chili before, but never elk.
I’ve had both meats, although not in a chili, and there’s simply no comparison: elk is much, much better.
Be curious to see what a good chili could
do for moose.
Yeah, I think it’s a good use for ground moose. It’s a pretty strong flavor that doesn’t necessarily work for burgers or other uses.
My regular “exotic” chili is bison. But I really liked the elk jerky my Colorado kid (and ex-wife) brought down for me this past December. So giving it a go.
Going to ski jumps early, might go to a viewing party after. My witty comments may be lacking.
Please, try to go on without me.
Didn’t I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning to watch a MANDATORY Jaguars game? This is an unauthorized absence, mister. You are on double secret probation.
Holed up in my basement, isolating, waiting out the Nineteen, chatting with you fine bastards.
Gonna make some wings though. Trying a new Garlic-Parm recipe.
I’ve a fresh bottle of Vodka and Oxy so I’m going to try the Other Hippo experience.
If you don’t hear from me after halftime, well there will be a good reason.
Will probably miss kickoff while driving home from the barn, but will commence with the crab dip, guac, and fresh from the store bread as soon as I start watching. Will probably pop open one of my fancier bottles of bubbly, but haven’t decided which yet
Been sitting on the tarmac for like 90 minutes. I’m so fucking tired.
“Me too”

Am I the only goober that liked Fishbone?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cx4Wq_pgt8&ab_channel=FishboneVEVO
Troy McClure liked a good fishbone.
And no, you are not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJCaFe1yamg&ab_channel=MauricioJelsich
My dude,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK640dPPhXE
You’re kidding, right?
Fishbone were LEGENDARY in SoCal!!
I discovered the band during Xmas break and couldn’t wait to share them with my floormates in Uni. It was playing in the background of our ‘Getting Back Together” party and one dude said, “can somebody turn off that shit and play something good?’. At least a dozen other people agreed. Well, that was that.
Your floormates were idiots with no musical taste.
I assume those people are all hobo steaks by now.
Legendary in North Cakalaky too (see above, and their later shows always sold out)
Fishbone was awesome. In the late 90s I got loser drunk with them at their show in Banff, Alberta at a bar called Wild Bills. Suuuper nice dudes who appreciate good weed.
A group of musicians smoking the reefer??? SCANDLOUS!
I only liked their first album, but I liked it a lot.
Fishbone played the last on-campus “Wolfstock” in Fall of 1990. Campus police broke it up because people wouldn’t stop slam dancing.
My now-hairdresser was a bartender at a club called The Brewery that night, and the bands all moved there. She says it was packed like sardines, they had to pass money and beer hand to hand because nobody could get to the bar. Or the…terlet.
No, Fishbone was a lot of fun.
Just had a Bulgogi Beef Pizza (delish), glass of wine, watching trash tv with the Mrs. Wee man has head phones on and earlier he said that they we going to do crafts. I ask her what they were going to do? He didn’t hear me but she looked at me like she would cut me if I mentioned it again. I poured her more wine.
I love it when they make pizzas out of totally unrelated delicious foods.

Found a funny;
Made a joke about Al Gore inventing the internet in class today and I thought the joke fell flat until a girl spoke up 5 minutes later and asked if that’s why they call it an algorithm
That’s really goddamned funny
My favoUrite aspect of VD is that, every year, the lesbian erotica stories get…a bit MOAR romantic, ya know?
A long read taken from a link posted in the last thread. Scary shit is brewing in the north.

The accounts spreading the prospect of convoys in the US are from troll farms in Vietnam, Romania, Bulgaria etc.
Social media was a mistake
So was evolution.
We should have stopped at cable TV.
Not so much evolution as penicillin
And I’m sure it’s NO COINCIDENCE that these troll farms are targeting mostly NATO countries at the moment.
Songs or band has a version of “Nothing” in it.
One of my favorite Boingo songs too.
Ding ding ding ding! Plus, the models have nothing on.
Underappreciated bands? (as Rikki mentioned below) I’ll go The Blue Aeroplanes-the writing on their ‘Beatsongs’ album was very obviously influenced by Beat poets and could have been a complete disaster but it wasn’t.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36S254FvANA&ab_channel=AnidelRio
Money for Nothing? The “hate” song that got taken off the radio for a couple of days until people both stopped & started losing their minds?!
Right? I was listening to it, heard the part that got everyone aflutter, and then thought, “Fuck man, it was the 80s”.
Plus, CONTEXT.
Man, I haven’t thought about The Ocean Blue in a long time.
I think about Nada Surf all the time, though, cause they’re fucking awesome. One of the most underappreciated bands of all time.
100% agree over here.
They should have been much bigger. Amazing band.
I will hear random Nada Surf on one of the alternative SiriusXM channels now and again. It’s always great stuff.
