Subsequent GTD reflections and open thread

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:

Life is about making an impact, not about making an income [in bed].
Kevin Kruse.

Kinda words to live by, I guess.


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.


So Lake Mead in Nevada is drying up (THANKS CLIMATE CHANGE!) and they just found a body in a barrel they think is from the 40s. Guessing it’s not going to be the last one they find there

40s. Vegas. Yeah, that’s the first of thousands

/wife and I were joking about me always being mistaken for being 10 years younger than I am

Wifey: “Now that you’ve got all that grey hair, that’s not gonna happen anymore.”

/today at the doctor’s office

Doctor: “Huh. Why are you getting a colonoscopy at such a young age?”

Me: [shrugs shoulders]

Doctor: [rifles through my paperwork later on] “Oh! You’re 58! I thought you were about 44-45 years old.”

Me: Id like a colonoscopy.

Doctor: What’s that?

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!

If Crosby scored that goal it not only would have counted they would have called the goalie for tripping Crosby.

I was exposed to COVID earlier this week (I’m fine, tested negative), so I’m staying at home all weekend drinking and watching hockey.

No, I wouldn’t say “hero” exactly, but…

This is what I still don’t understand. All we had to do sit at home, eat carryout and watch TV and surf the internet.

Oh man. Good evening, all. Finally got my basement quasi-set up here in the new house. Found an old Panasonic Viera 50-inch plasma TV for dirt cheap on FB Marketplace, and it’s finally rigged up and set to go… honestly, for a hundred bucks, it kicks ass. Maybe in a few years I’ll get myself some new 4K setup, but I spent the last five or so years on a tiny 32-inch LCD, so this seems still quite luxurious by comparison.

Also, the Leafs lost, which is always glorious.

KINGS IN OT!

I AM SPENT and the floor’s a mess

SonOfSpam

NO HITTER FOR THE ANGELS!

Mr. Ayo

Detmer? Ty in his second career?

SonOfSpam

Mormon lifestyle once again defying the ravages of age.

Redshirt

Makes sense. With half his passes being a few feet away from his intended targets, he would make an accurate pitcher.

SonOfSpam

So the Rays (who are getting no-hit) brought in outfielder Brett Phillips to pitch the bottom of the eighth.

Right-handed hitter Anthony Rendon turned around to bat lefty.

And homered.

Nice job, Nebraskan Republicans! I knew you still had the capacity for good!

I’m not even going to look for fear its true. I just need a win.

Angels’ Reid Detmers has a no-hitter thru 8 now.

If the Kings don’t choke away their lead, this could be a prettay good sports night in this hovel.

Who is the woman announcing the Kings game? She’s making me miss Doc Emerich.

Sharkbait

Leah Hextall. Ron’s cousin

Horatio Cornblower

I take it all back.

I don’t need Ronnie showing up at my house at 3:00 am looking to fight me.

Mr. Ayo

It’s like a Beth Mowins with the energy of Gus Johnson. Very odd.

Horatio Cornblower

She’s awful. It’s like she read a book like ‘Announcing Hockey for Dummies’ and just went right into the booth. She’s just a step off on everything, and it’s incredibly irritating.

I switched over to the Blu…

Hang on, Ron Hextall’s in my driveway.

SonOfSpam

Threaten his neck with a skate. He’ll back off.

Hero ship.

Sharkbait

The ship’s motto should be “Tis but a scratch”

Redshirt

I think its “non obtinuit tempus mergi”.

Redshirt

…and as a reward for helping to win the Pacific theatre and defeating the evil Japanese Empire, the most decorated US ship in World War II was forgotten and torn apart for scrap.

I cannot think of a better analogy with how America treats its veterans. Its too perfect.

Brick Meathook

By the end of the war the Enterprise was a beat up wreck. It was held together with tape. Not only would it have cost a fortune to preserve the ship, it still would have been a safety hazard. That was the main reason it couldn’t be saved despite a long and committed effort with a lot of influential supporters. It just wasn’t feasible.

Gonna see more than a few FFL teams called Chinese Hurricane Guns next season.

I feel like if the stars aligned you could tell Meghan Fox that was your name as a solo artist musician and she’d hook up with you.

Horatio Cornblower

Look, I am 1,000% aware that Ms. Fox will not lose a second’s sleep over this, but her “I drink Machine Gun Kelly’s blood, but only for ritual reasons” has taken a lot of shine off that gem.

SonOfSpam

To quote an 80s standup comedian whose names escapes me “It’s gotten so I won’t even go to bed with a woman unless she says, Okay, I’ll go to bed with you”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I always thought Firestarter was the most cinematic of Stephen King’s books, but I’m not terribly optimistic about the version that’s about to come out.

King Hippo

It seems the “let’s just keep making the same movies all over, just shittier” trend ain’t gonna fade.

SonOfSpam

At least Prodigy make it their own.

Horatio Cornblower

King’s books just don’t seem to translate well to movies. The Shawshank Redemption being a notable exception.

King Hippo

The sweet spot of parenting is when your chill’uns is old/big enough to follow instructions to walk on your back, but not so old/big that you fear an accidental crippling.

SonOfSpam

Same reason I don’t hire Cub Scouts to jump on my balls while wearing stiletto heels.

King Hippo

I mean, sum things is just common cents

New goal: get a tablet and rig it with WiFi and telephone app. That would enable handling or sending emails, plus delight fellow beachgoers with me doing yap-yap-yap / wanking motions during work calls.
