Solidarity Saturday

As Frank Lampard’s Everton prepare for their Man City skullfucking, I am heartened that the above-pictured banner (featuring our Ukrainian left back) will fly at Goodison.

Daddy Vladdy is a boil on humanity’s ass, that needs lancing.  Your move, Russian plutocrats.  Pariah statehood not great for the bottom line.

As distasteful as it may feel, the games must go on.  We really do need the distractions.  For the early riser, you get Teams In Turmoil!  Whiny bitch Conte’s Spurs and Poor Deflated Bielsa’s Leeds (7:30, USA).  Probably a touch watch, this.  I hope my asshole brain lets me sleep in.  SPOILER ALERT – it won’t.

Men Untied get the walking ded outfit that is the Moose Hornets next (10:00, USA).  Brighton/Villa is likely the most appealing streaming option, but Barcodes/Bees is what the Brits call “a classic six-pointer” with relegation battle meaning.

Spotlight Dance…FFS.  Angry Pep takes out his frustrations on me Toffees (12:30, NBC).  Nap time is always the best time, anyway.  What the fresh hell??  I just noticed, watching Friday Night Footy, that the Spotlight Dance AIN’T ON TEEVEE AT ALL, just Peacock.  Is Hippo annoyed?  Sure am, Other Hippo!

Hammers/Wolves is all you get on Sunday (9:00, Peacock), which is par for this shitty week’s course.  Meh.

Hang in there, imaginary Clubhouse denizens.  Be pretty hard for things to get worse.  (God holds Hippo’s beer)

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

The Dominicans have been to the line 16(!) times and the Canucks have been there twice. CURVEBALL: the good guys are up by 5.

scotchnaut

Who says there’s nothing on? I’m watching FIBA basketball qualifying action. (The Canucks are up 12-3 over the dirty Dominicans)

Some of you might have missed this in Request Line, but I wanted to share it again because it makes me smile, and I hope it makes you smile too.

My Wormhole Journey:

-was looking at juggernaut teams that didn’t win a championship.

-looks at ’99 Vikings, 2015 Kentucky, ’90 49’ers, ’91 UNLV, ’83 Houston Cougars, ’80 Russian hockey team, ’07 Pats (*winks*)

-then looks at Bo Ryan’s coaching wins %

-looks at the all-time records Jim Crutchfield (?) at .855 (359-61) is tops. He coached at WVU for one year and then West Liberty for the majority of his career.

-Hmm… I wonder what Dave Smart’s winning percentage was? He was a dude that took over a moribund Carleton (Go Ravens!) basketball program back in ’99. Huh. His coaching record was a mere 591-48-the math tells me that is a mind-boggling .918 winning percentage. In his first year he had 9 losses but he made up ground by having more undefeated seasons (8) than one-loss seasons (6). That’s bananas.

The thing that astounds me is that pics from back then show Skywalker as far above the rim as players are getting these days. There’s no way that his vertical was a ‘mere’ 44 inches.

One thing that drives me crazy about the Dr. Mrs. is her compulsion to pull down laundry I only hung up fifteen minutes ago, regardless of whether or not it is dry (it is not).

Horatio Cornblower

Retired people have too much time on their hands.

scotchnaut

I look forward to a RTD post dedicated to how the Dr. Mrs. sips her tea a bit too loudly occasionally. Not always, just every once in a while.

Does it make the tinnitus go away?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I actually do have tinnitus and it sucks.

/seriously, it’s the worst when I’m tired or anxious
//can’t talk to anyone in the fridge or freezer at work because the fans drown out everything. So frustrating.

Horatio Cornblower

Announcer just described a guy as a “200 foot player” and I can hear Deanna Favre sighing from here.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

He just shot to the top of Rex Ryan’s board.

Horatio Cornblower

You can tell Sidney Crosby’s level of play is declining, because the Penguins were just called for a penalty.

Germany is now stepping up their efforts in Ukraine.

In the middle of winter. Clearly they have learned nothing.

Hippo, who gets blown out on their homecourt by the most points, the Wolven or Sillycuse?

Everton deserved a draw.

What the cinnamon toast fuck is the VAR referee on in Everton-City. Clear as day handball

Pickford deserved better than that.

One more room to unpack, except the garage. Now I have to figure out where all this stuff is going.

Kegger at your house!

I unpacked my kitchen and china cabinet yesterday. 99% of my glasses are alcohol related. I have almost nothing but pint glasses, wine glasses, shot glasses, and martini glasses. Gumby can’t even drink at all anymore, and I only have the occasional glass of wine. Crazy!

Mr. Ayo

Lovely view

Gumbygirl

Snow covered mountains, hell yeah!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh my goodness that looks nice.

Saving the sex dungeon for last is smart thinking!

No awkward moments of family members seeing the accoutrement.

Also, Purdue/MSU is coming down to the nubbins. The former has trailed the entire game.

Someone posted in last night’s thread that this was a hoax? Not sure what to think. I, of course, would never visit that site…

What’s with this 0-0 bullshit at the half?

That first half really blue.

This fixture is quite a dreadful match.

I simply can not figure out why Manchester United can’t make it work. They are the living embodiment of erectile dysfunction in cleats.

Cristiano’s approach to women is the same as his approach to football — if the opportunity presents itself, you try to score.

You know what, I still love Pepe. Fuck the haters!

Love our intl contingent on Saturdays

Gumby and I were wandering around Rome one day, and at the Piazza del Popolo, they were doing this elaborate dance with colorful flags. Everyone dressed in medieval stuff, it was fucking magic. Looked like a scene from Romeo and Juliet.

Dunstan

With slightly less suicide, one hopes.

(sorry, spoilers)

Cecil Rhodes

Thanks for the spoiler alert! I will send word to my relatives back in the 1620s to inform them that they should steer clear of the DFO comment section!

By “slightly less suicide” it sounds like you want only one of them to take their lives. But which one? Ha ha ha, that’s a rhetorical question, of course, everyone knows the proper answer is “that pedophile Romeo”.

2Pack

They have a real flair for that. It’s cool though and people have a good time.

Bees Leeds and Moose Hornets down. Could be next seeson the Mighty Whites play the Canaries!

FIFA should just toss Russia. Come back when you have installed a new government.

Gumbygirl

Yesyesyes. Bye bitch!

Cecil Rhodes

My word — I can’t believe that the King’s African Water Pistols are not included in the fixtures this morning! Having to watch the red regiment of Manchester do battle against a pack of Moose-Hornets is truly a special kind of torture (I hope you are taking notes, Russia!). I suppose I shall turn my attention to the contest between the Whites and the Welsh Rarebits (which is also an innuendo for a sheep’s unmentionables). Given their moral superiority and civilized nature, the Whites are sure to triumph!

litre_cola

Sir, the Welsh have galvanized their defenses and are playing everyone behind the ball. It will be like picking a lock I figure. The Whites shall prevail or my day is ruined.

litre_cola

Having 2 jobs now may kill me, but at least they can bury me on a pile of money. Served the Minnesota Wild last night, players were typical NHL douchebags but Bill Guerin and Doug Weight were super nice guys.

litre_cola

Nope, stayed away from the douches and chatted with the lads that are the same age as us.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

More like Minnesota Child amirite?

Gumbygirl

Did the pups at least tip decently?

Given that he’s a Christian, you know he’ll just rise again.

But only for awhile, then he’s ascending the fuck outta here.
