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. Seriously. There isn’t.
This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing [in bed].
Walt Disney.
kinda creepy with him running a theme park and all.
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.
Youngest right is well on her way to the next big thing. She’s not quite doing the impossible entire state of California from South to North but she’s giving it a hell of a go. She left San Diego this morning, stopped just outside of Bakersfield, had dinner at Pier 39 in San Francisco and is now driving to Redding. I rented her a room for the night and there’s free breakfast for her and littlest right in the morning. Then it’s 10 hours to Seattle tomorrow.
You want to test your fucking nerves as a parent?
She’s got 4 nights at an Airbnb in Seattle then she moves into her new pad and new career at The MotherShip in Redmond Washington.
Show then who’s boss kid. You got this shit.
yeah right

I believe this makes both Jeff Fisher and BOSS TODD 0-2 [ after week 2 in the USFL].
On a separate topic, The Pickle is a great name for a car and a penis. Since it was a Pinto, did you ever have anal sex in it or was it just too dangerous?

I ordered a roll of bubblewrap and it arrived today.
It came packaged with bubblewrap so that the real bubblewrap wouldn’t be damaged during shipping.

I just got back from Von’s, amongst my expensive groceries (557 bucks, American, what the infernal fuck?) Is a copy of Lindy’s draft mag, for my man. I should just let him read the stuff here, but he’s not fluent in DFO. Although I think I told you guys this, he was on KSK back in the day. I’m sure he was annoying!

I can teach him Hippo FOAR Beginners in 10 short weeks, and I only require 40% of that sweet Army pension lucre*!!

We’re at the Loma Londa emergency room, fun! Gumby has something on his face that his derm didn’t want to mess with, without imaging. I expect to be here for hours.

Anyone else married to an angel?
The day after her sister-in-law told her she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer my wife arranged for a leave of absence from work. As someone with a nursing degree she made sure that pain medications were at proper levels so that her SIL died comfortably. Today she’s making a four hour round trip so that her 14 year-old niece has a nice dress to wear at the funeral.

So it turns out waking up at 5:20 am, working out with a trainer for 1.5 hours, then driving an hour south to train and ride a horse before driving another hour back home, all the while checking my work phone and not eating anything, is a great way to make myself utterly useless for the rest of the day. Curry chicken salad, bottle of rosé and a book before falling asleep at some stupidly early time like 8:30 pm

Just based on the name I was expecting something margarita-esque, but no! Might try this later today. I have today off and while there are things I should do, it’s been so long since I had a truely nothing day I think I am gonna have some wine with breakfast and not do any of those things

Watching “Beauty and the Beast” as a grown up isn’t exactly the same when watching as a kid.
The enchantress punishes a young, arrogant prince for not giving her shelter in the storm by turning him into a beast? Okay. One, he’s a teenager, you can’t ruin a teenager for one act of asshole. If that’s the case, no teenager would make it to adulthood. Two, why would true love break the spell? She just wanted out of the rain, not betrothed. Finally, why were his subjects punished with him? Were they cheering his actions? No one deserved to suffer that hell because their regent is an asshole; especially the poor souls who became the toilets.
The townspeople ostracizing Belle for being such a bookworm really aged well into 2022.
Speaking of with, Gaston really aged well in 2022. Belle is America and Gaston is the Trumpublican Party. Democratic Party is The Beast, a selfishly amoral entity that needs to discover its capacity for change, growth and acceptance before the final rose petal falls and we’re all doomed. Non-Trumpers like me are the aforementioned les toilettes.
If Belle is so smart, why doesn’t she trick Gaston into going to the castle alone instead of with an army. “Oh, Gaston? I’ve fallen in love with you and I found this castle we can live with that is so worthy of a man like you.” “You are right, Belle. I am worthy of a castle.” (one carriage ride later) “Who’s that dangerous beast? “Oh, yeah right. I almost forgot. He’s my landlord. Hey, Beast? Can you kill the guy?” “On it.”
Why couldn’t Beast just invite Belle’s father to stay with them in the castle instead of releasing her to go back to the village? You can drag him back to the village but you can’t drag him back to the castle?
And of course:

Noooooooooooooooo Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne
Misogynistics like Gaston.
Overcompensates like Gaston.
Ooses toxic masculinity like Gaston!

“Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said Tuesday that if a report suggesting that the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade is accurate, she was misled in her conversations with two justices who had told her that the landmark 1973 abortion ruling was settled law.”
Awww, poor gullible Suzy. They told her that they would “it would just be the tip” of religious fascism that they would insert into American jurisprudence…
I procrastinate even with my hobbies/TV watching. Just now finished s3e2 of Barry, and FUCK ME that was intense.
Gee, maybe “Better Call Saul” would cleanse the old palette!
C’mon Cherries. Let’s win this fucker and we can pack our bags for promotion TODAY!
Isn’t a draw more or less sufficient? Thought Fo-rest Gump needed all 3??
A draw would work but that playoff shit from last year scared the shit out of me and I just want a win, dammit!
Checked table, could still be third with a draw today but ONLY if you lost the finale, and Forest won theirs.
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many Clubhouse Derbies coming back to life!
WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Save us a seat at the big boy table cuz we’re moving the fuck UP!
The pitch is a pool. Perfect submarine conditions.
¡Vamos Villarreal!
They no can do it, but I appreciate their at least making a go of it, Fucking Redshite.
The Conservative Justices said under oath Roe is Settled Law. You can now see impeach them for Perjury. And the Democrats can get 67 Senators. And Trump can die of a Big Mac induced heart attack. And… And… ( starts crying )
I always forget Anne Veal was in Independence Day.

I need new tires, so Gumby and I went out to see what size mine are. There was a roadrunner standing on the roof of my car. He was supervising, apparently. That’s the second one I’ve seen since we moved here. Meep meep!

Joe Manchin is still a big pile of shit

Josh Marshall is right, as usual. This CAN give our base the wake-up call it needs. Hold the House, get up to 52 or 53 in the Senate, and Manchin doesn’t matter.
After Murkowski is re-elected, bribe her as lucratively as possible to switch sides (D-caucusing independent).
If the Democrats gets 52 Senators, Manchin is going to be thrown out of the party faster than Oliver Twist was thrown out of the workhouse.
Imagine how this-coming Thanksgiving will be dominated by intra-family abortion wars. Good thing we’ll probably have World War 3 before we ever get there.
Everybody in the HippoFam got Planned Parenthood donations for Christmas last year. Put that shit on repeat now.
Yay.
Made a bonus NARAL donation today because there isn’t a fund to break Alito’s kneecaps
And as to Monday’s draft…Alito is fruit of the poisonous Scalia tree. FFS, they even called him “SCALITO”
