Saturday “All Aboard the Sinking Ship” Morning Thread

I apologize in advance for tomorrow.  I will go missing all day, and there will be no Derby of Ultimate Despair live blog.  Because I hate those fucking thundercunts so very much that I can’t even bear to watch the mauling.  Hope for Premier League survival is fading, but there’s still a faint heartbeat left.  For getting a result at Anfield?  Fucking.  Goddamned.  Hopeless.

Being in a relegation battle is more intense than I ever could have imagined.  At the risk of sounding fucked-up (GUILTY), it is a bit like watching a family member slowly die.  And my Dad had pancreatic cancer, so I have first-hand experience of that.  No, it’s not EXACTLY as bad.  I am just saying the ballparks are relatively close.

It doesn’t help any that its Team White Lives Matter who will pip us for 17th position.  Managed by White Michael Jackson, because of course they are.

Fortunately, most of y’all support someone else.  You make good life choices, or at least better than mines.

Wake and bake with schizophrenic Arsenal and epic shitshow Men Untied (7:30, USA).  Our much beloved King’s Afrikan Water Pistols ran train at the Bridge midweek, after losing at home to Brighton. They haven’t made any sense all season, and it’s likely too late to start.  Each of these squadoos will likely be in Zooropa or Zooropa NIT next European campaign, but if there’s a winner – hope won’t be lost for that precious 4th Shempions ticket.

They’s a triple featUre at 10:00, with Man City playing Ded Moose Hornets (USA), Leicester/Villa (CNBC, both sides playing for fuck shit), and Ded Norwich v. the Bonesaws on Peacock.  Not particularly appetizing choices, but I will likely white knuckle Man City – who need to win out to claim the Title.

Bees/Spurs gets proper spotlight treatment (12:30, NBC), so I guess that aspect of the new broadcast arrangement isn’t kaput.  You’d still favoUr Spurs for 4th, as they are ahead of/slightly less schizo than Arsenal.  Bees are fully safe now, which is fantastic work by their Drunken Sailing Instructor (h/t, Fronk) manager.

Football will cease to exist Sunday, so I won’t mention any of that noise.  You get Palace/Leeds for Monday Night Footy (3p, USA) – and Everton’s back door option requires Leeds to go into total freefall.  Amusingly enough, online Leeds supporters tend to just refer to new boss Jesse Marsch as “Ted” (for the Ted Lasso character).  YES, they are still 100% Bielsa Loyalists.

Mr. Ayo

Dirt Stillers got shut out 21-0 today. Impressive!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’d even be embarrassing for the regular Steelers.

Blazing Saddles is on IFC right now. Uncut.

yeah right

The girls came up with a great idea for a memorial service for the Former Mrs. right. It’s in June and there will be a bon fire on Mission Bay in San Diego. It’s one of her favorite spots and we used to have gatherings and bon fires there a few times per year back in the day.

It’s an awesome idea and the location is incredible. It’s walking distance from the roller coaster at Mission Beach.

That’s gonna be rocking

If you need firewood, Mike Brown still hasn’t thrown out his Christmas tree and he’ll sell it you for a 10% discount off what he originally paid for it.

“Rodeo and Juliet” is the finest horse-centric romance I’ve seen since Kenneth Pinyan’s “Mr. Hands” opus.

Darkest Timeline Stillers and Iggles is actually a very entertaining sprotsmarch.

I went down a YubTub hole and ended up here. It took place in 1971 and it’s apparently the very first “Gathering of the Ban-Juggalos”.

“Too Much Polyester” is the name of my John Water’s tributary band.

Nice! Whole lotta pickin going on right there, yessir.

On a complete tangent, always thought “Henry Hempfield and His Foggy Bottom Bonghead Boys” would be a fun name for a bluegrass combo…

It seems you can score a goal after the whistle blows in hockey. What is a whistle joins What is a catch and What is a foul and What is a strike, apparently.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I thought the NFL already had a copyright on “what is a whistle”?

I don’t mean for him to take credit for other peoples’ work, I just like bring attention to some of the shitty things that are happening to Russia.

Karma, komrade!

They’ve hit the “pipe in the crowd noise” stage of the USFL. Who’s idea was it to both name the teams after cities and play all the games in Birmingham, Alabama? They should’ve just named them after intramural teams or something.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Fightin’ Wallaces are known for their ferocious goal line stands. And also schoolhouse doorway stands.

BeefReeferLives

You had me at ‘They’ve hit the “pipe’

Gumbygirl

I too have “hit the pipe.”
And I’ll do it again!

Molly, who has been out in the rain, is now farting like crazy-it’s a perfect storm of nasty odors.

scotchnaut

Wish she’d make me some lunch sometime soon. Wives, amirite?

TheRevanchist

Mine is in the kitchen. I’m hiding out in the bathroom. She wants to make all the breakfast, that’s on her to do. There is milk and Cheerios, which is all a man really needs, unless doughnuts are involved. Or a hot dog and fries. Or I’m vacationing in Mexico. Or I’m at a brunch. Or a diner.

There’s a dirty Scotsman doing some commenting on this game and when he gets excited I can’t stop laughing.

Best re-brand ever? The Baltimore Ravens not being the Cleveland Browns.

Announcers seem surprised that a guy named ‘Jesus’ is having a great game the week after Easter.

Occasionally funny, often just cringey.

Had a late poker tournament so I missed the Water Pistols’ win versus ManUre.

Dropping three straight to Crystal Palace, Saints, and Trashbirds before going back-to-back against Chelsea and MU is not the way empires are built, boys.

Since we get no World Cup action… again… and cuz we simply stepped on our dicks… I’m just gonna head to the mall and look for these ladies this summer. Beats a kick in the nuts.

At the aeropuerto will miss us beating The Cherries to win the league. Finally something nice for Whites.

Happy landings, old boy! Don’t forget to remind people of your White supremacy when you arrive at your final destination!

Sir, I am dressed in a Mighty Whitey hat, Fulham Supporters against Fascism t shirt and an old Kappa Fulham warmup jacket. The Mexicans will know.

Let’s get a final first shall we? I seem to recall something about losing 2 of 3 lately.

Wow. I loved Warren Zevon. Not a fan of Jackson Brown, but he was good here. Stevie Nicks sang the harmony on the record, she is great too.
