Sundays With Litre, Now with Less Litre!

Your illustrious host for the Sunday evening Open Thread is in Toronto this weekend for the Canada-Jamaica World Cup Qualifier game.

This is important for two reasons:

1. Canada needs just one point to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since the 80’s
2. Litre has been running a Twitter account posing as Canadian goalkeeper Milan Borjan’s pants. It should be noted that Borjan famously plays in sweat pants instead of shorts. The Twitter handle is Borjan Pants. Well, Mr. Borjan is aware of it and likes it so much that he sent Litre a pair of pants and has made arrangements to meet Litre at the game!! Please see below:

So, if everything goes to plan, Litre will be good and drunk with members of the Canadian National Team celebrating Canada’s qualification by the time you read this.

All I have to say is that I’m looking forward to the Boots On The Ground post!

UPDATE: CANADIA WINS IN A ROUT! LITRE IS DRUNK AF!

***

The NCAA tourney continues even though all of our brackets are trash. In the DFO contest, Señor Weaselo has a commanding lead and should take this baby.

On the Women’s side, Litre has the lead with 690 points (The Mighty 690!) with Game Time Decision right on his heels with 680 and me with 650 and Spam & teh Hippo tied at 640. All our potential champions are still in play so it’s still up for grabs!

Your sports choices tonight are USA-Panama or Honduras-México. Other than that, all you’ve got for entertainment is what we used to call The Gay Super Bowl (The Oscars).

Not sure if it’s PC to call it that anymore, but I think it’s appropriate. It’s like the Super Bowl in many important ways:

• No real people can attend the actual event.
• People host parties to watch it.
• The people at these parties typically have not seen anything related to the show. ( Don’t watch football = Haven’t seen the nominated movies)
• They’re all distracted by other things (Super Bowl commercials = Red Carpet Fashion)
• People can and do gamble on the outcome.
• No one from Cincinnati ever wins.
• At the end of the night, we always wonder why we bothered to watch again this year.

I myself have not seen a movie in the theater since COVID started. Rikki probably has friends that have been in some of the nominated films but got cut out at the last minute. At least they still get paid.

Spam set up a DFO Oscars pool on ESPN. Here is the link if you want a Gently-Used Fleshlight:

That’s all I’ve got. Have at it in the comments.
