Hello there fellow DFO’er. Hope you’re well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain. There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t.
This weeks cheesy motivational quote is: “
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work [in bed].
Thomas Edison
Better, but think this is just saying that he was just a bad lover.
As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post. Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts. Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.
Since the Brownies traded away all of their future draft picks in perpetuity, for a handful of magic beans and yet another QBFail, this seems appropriate

Just learned on Jeopardy that a group of bats is called a “cauldron” and that’s pretty fucking cool.

Yes, pretty cool, but, it’s no MURDER of crows.

Buffalo taxpayers are on the hook for 850 million dollars for a new stadium but that’s about 25 million in Los Angeles dollars.

I have to believe you could buy all of Buffalo and a decent chunk of Rochester for that.

I have to be honest: I’ve met many of the DFOers and I still refer to them as their online names.
They’ve told me their real names, but it’s easier for me just to call them by their online names. Quite honestly, I’ve forgotten some real names.
And, it sounds really weird when someone refers to them by their real names. I’m always thinking, “Who?”

One of the things that led me here in the first place and obviously keeps all of us here is the intellect and the exchanges of like thought.
I think the key thing over the last two years has been the intellect, the support and most of all the empathy during this unbelievably horrible shared experience and I want to thank each and every one of you for being there for your support, your guidance and most of all just being a kind and open ear to those of us who’ve needed support and just a good, if imaginary friend.
I love you all so much for that.
yeah right
Love the post. Might even say AMEN REVEREND.
Used to downplay all the time in grade school/high school; at first, out of empathy, later to be less unpopular. (Didn’t work)

I was broken in kindergarten.
My teacher brought in a TV so we could watch part of the moon landing. She asked if anyone could explain the lunar lander. I walked up to the front of the room (it had a little stage. I can still see it). I explained that LEM stood for Lunar Excursion Module, how one astronaut had to stay in the command module while the other two went to the moon. How NASA would lose contact with the CM every time it went behind the moon. I then looked out into the room.
Every student was staring at me like I grew a third head. This, I kind of expected. I was a nerd already, even if the word hadn’t been invented. What broke me was the look on the teacher’s face. She was terrified. I had said things she didn’t even know. At 5 years old.
As I have told my daughter, I got exactly the grade in school that I wanted. No more, no less. I never told any civilians I was a member of Mensa. Mensa meetings were always a bit of an asshole convention, because we could let our freak flag fly. You could tell every Descartes joke you knew. But never in front of civilians.
Gumby made a topographical model of the area of the moon they landed on, for the school science fair. He had everything to scale, and labeled. A teacher came up to his dad later, and said he would have won if he hadn’t “made up silly names” for everything, like the Sea of Tranquility. Um….

I’m having a massive issue with the USPS and you’ll be shocked to know their customer service is not helping. Here’s a direct quote from the most recent interaction, this time via twitter dm because phone and in person didn’t cut it:

Saw this quote in an article about the Brady / Arians rumors swirling about:
“Unfortunately, this is a league that regularly spits in the face of the bastardized “duck test” proverb. You know the one: “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck.” That’s not how the NFL’s manual on controlling narratives is written. Instead, this league’s boilerplate approach to damage control is often something along the lines of “If it looks like a duck, dress it like a chicken and start lying immediately.”

For those of you that get roped into watching a rom-com with your partner, might I suggest The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society? It’s not completely over-wrought emotionally manipulative detritus, it’s just wrought.

Hippo’s Tom Petty joke reminded me of some ancient history. Way back, when bungee jumping was new-ish a bunch of us at the restaurant (about 15-20 gals and dudes) decided to take the plunge. On the day of, a bartender said, “I made a mix tape for the occasion!”.
So songs like “Free Falling” and “Learning To Fly” (but I ain’t got wings) were featured. As the person that drew #1 out of the hat, this wasn’t helping my nerves at all-actually kinda pissed me off. Most of the tunes were about failing and being nervous and crashing, etc.
In retrospect it was a brilliant bit of trolling but it certainly wasn’t appreciated by anyone that day.

I regularly comment on a Sens blog and I’m guessing that a large number of the commenters are over 70 years-old or are autistic. When the goalie Anton Forsberg lets in his first goal I call him “Onesberg”. His third goal? He’s “Threesberg”. I’ve been doing this since last year. (and many others have adopted this nomenclature) And yet, long-time commenters to that site are completely befuddled as to why his nickname gets changed throughout the course of any one game.

UConn game is going about how I expected, so I see no need to jinx them by doing anything other than what I did yesterday.

I do think that Edison was a terrible lover. That’s why he had so much time to invent shit.
That and he had the ratios reversed — everyone knows good lovemaking is 99% inspiration and 1% perspiration.
