Myriad Games Seven Night Thread

I don’t really pay much attention to iced footy, but even I am aware there are thre Games Seven tonight.  I am certain everyone wishes the Geographically Disparate Whalers well.  As always, the Canadia entrants will disappoint, but on the bright side that means I won’t get sucked into watching.

You see, I like it when supporter bases that REALLY care win/compete for titles.  As opposed to some Bettman-favoUred outpost (hey, like where Hippo lives!!) where the people barely even understand the goings on, let alone have a vested emotional interest.  So, it’s best that I just stay in Footy Manager-verse.

FUCK OFF, Tuchel’s Chelski.  You were NOT ROCKING today, when humanity needed you.

Those Robins Hood were sexy as fuck, though – they could have won at Team Knifey (why is their ground not called “Knife Point?” – that is marketing 101) by 4 or 5-nil.  But they fluffed some chances and allowed a soft set piece goal right at the end of normal time.  2-1, going back home…but with just an itch of nervousness now.

Still, it’s enough to post another “Sexy Robin Hood” banner pic.  I am a Hippo of simple tastes.

FUN FACT about those Geographically Disparate Whalers – they DO have in-stands “cheerleader/stripper” types, so I imagine 90% of the non-Yankee (we really DO have lots and lots of Yankees in this area, since the universities require that their students read) attendees are there for pervert reasons.  That’s, I guess, marketing 102.

Well done, but I have sads.

Just caught the drawn out, soulful cover of The Police’s “Walking On The Moon”. Nauseous.

Can you program the remote to not include these channels?

Everybody knows that song is about being drunk, right?

Lucky for us the Texas law also prevents companies from providing spam filters for email, so we can send thousands of complaint emails every hour to let them know our opinions on the matter!

ballsofsteelandfury

I maintain the grammar guy y’all quoted in the morning is wrong and it should be “Robin Hoods” not Robins Hood.

The reason is that you are doing the plural of a two word thing: a “Robin Hood”. Hence, the s goes at the end of the second word.

If there were 3 people named Robin and then their last names were all “Hood”, that would be an appropriate situation in which to say “Robins Hood”.

Mr. Ayo

A better example is there is only one balls of steel and fury, but that balls of steel and fury has multiple balls. Otherwise it would be ball of steel and furies. Or if he was a total nerd ball of steel and furries.

Doktor Zymm

This is off on a tangent, but why isn’t “hot dog” hyphenated?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Because of all the dog in it?

ballsofsteelandfury

Great point! And people say hot dogs, not hots dog.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Isn’t the issue here really that hot is an adjective modifying the dog/dogs whereas Robin may be more akin to Attorneys General?

ballsofsteelandfury

I would say that “hot dog” is a thing described by two words. Otherwise, you’re taking about RTD’s pooch stuck outside today in 100 degree heat.

Mr. Ayo

It definitely should be in quotes at all times.

yeah right

Co- signed.

SonOfSpam

No sandwich is hyphenated.

yeah right

As an authority on this subject you are correct sir. It’s Robin Hoods. Not possessive but plural. As a person whose dealt with some of the nomenclature issues presented here within I stand by my decision.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

The shamebet should be whomever loses flies to the others town for a weekend of drinking.

ballsofsteelandfury

Absofuckinglutely!!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’ve seen each of you in your own cities and would love to reprise that!

ballsofsteelandfury

What about this for a bet?

Winner gets to host the lovely and talented BFC in their home city for a COVID- appropriate meal or beverage.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Ha. Is the loser paying for my flight?

ballsofsteelandfury

You fly so much eventually you’ll meet every single DFOer. Even 2Pack.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Can’t wait to get back to Europe. Big shock is that Zymm and I haven’t crossed paths in an airport lounge.

Doktor Zymm

Indeed, and we even frequent a lot of the same airports!

My wife was EXPLICIT that she was not property that needed permission to be proposed to. So I did dinners with both sets of parents/stepparents to ask for their blessing but made it clear I was going forward no matter what. I also paid for both dinners which freaked out both dad and stepdad.

Ain’t nothing wrong with a Saturday night in. Lady BFC is out of town, so I played spades via zoom with my best friends from college and am now watching Jessica Jones. Good times.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I do have a thing for Krysten Ritter but also have other things to masturbate to.

Mr. Ayo

*blushes*

Mr. Ayo

Reading books like the proper drunk nerds we are.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Whatcha reading?

Mr. Ayo

Just finished A Murder of Quality. Was going to start Red Roulette then The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu, but instead diverted to Ultra: The Underworld of Italian Footy thanks to this morning’s thread.

After all that, back to finish John Le Carre’s Smiley series.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’m not a huge Le Carre fan. But I can’t judge, I’m currently going back to Knausgaard’s pre-memoir stuff.

Mr. Ayo

Not into his six book Mein Kampf adaptation? Smart!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’ve read four of those. I hate how much I like them.

Doktor Zymm

I’m on book 14 of the Akitada Mysteries series

Mr. Ayo

Holy crap! That’s only 2/3 of the series. I’ll have to check it out.

Doktor Zymm

I’m alternately reading a book and checking the internet

Things to say to impress at your next dinner party: “Well topographically speaking, spoons and forks are equivalent.”

Doktor Zymm

Knives too! They are all homeomorphic! And it’s topologically, topographically has to do with geographic location and maps.

Why yes, I AM fun at parties, why do you ask?

WCS

As a geography professor, I endorse this.

I prefer Specific Booty myself

Mr. Ayo

Relative Booty is somewhere in between then?

Wait, that’s probably a southern search term on pornhub.

Doktor Zymm

May there someday be a game where it’s a QB battle of Booty v. Cousins

Mr. Ayo

Just went through all the pro QB names and here is the list:

White Booty
Strong Booty
Stick Booty
Ridder Booty
Purdy Booty
Love Booty
King Booty
Case Booty
Booty Hurts
Will Booty
Chase Booty
Booty Fields
Justin Booty

Booty Cheek
Booty Carr

Are you sure these are the right “pros”?

Mr. Ayo

NFL money is going to these folks one way or another, so yes.

BC Dick

There’s got to be a Jackson joke here somewhere. I can’t find it. If only Wendell Stepmom was still playing.

Senor Weaselo

“Cowboys General Booty” has an entirely new hit on the search engine.

Doktor Zymm

So I learned an interesting thing today. In Mississippi law, abortion is defined as follows:  “Abortion” means the use or prescription of any instrument, medicine, drug or any other substance or device to terminate the pregnancy of a woman known to be pregnant with an intention other than to increase the probability of a live birth, to preserve the life or health of the child after live birth or to remove a dead fetus.

Terminating a pregnancy just means ending the pregnancy, so giving birth is a form of terminating a pregnancy, and inducing labor for any reason other than the 3 listed would legally be an abortion. It’s not uncommon for people to try and induce labor at home for non-medical reasons, and one way to try and induce labor at home is sex. So theoretically, under the Mississippi law that SCOTUS is about to overturn Roe to allow, the state could prosecute people for consensual sex during pregnancy.

WCS

consensual sex during pregnancy.

Off to shower after +1ing that comment

herodotus450

Luckily, given the literacy rates in Mississippi, most lawyer types down there won’t be aware of that.

yeah right

But but I’ve got 6 and a half years before retirement.

C’mon IRA daddy needs a new country!

BC Dick

Not only that, birth also terminates a woman’s “value” as she is now a mother and therefore no longer desirable. It’s a well-known fact.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Whoa whoa whoa, the US Supreme Court has already made it abundantly clear that women have no value at any age, except prenatally.

scotchnaut

Kinda feel sorry for most Leaf players. They’re mostly just minding their own business, getting their collective cocks sucked dry by the national media. And then they have to go out on to the ice-completely drained-btw-and are expected to deliver a win. That’s a big ask, buddy.

Doktor Zymm

I really, really despise doing laundry. I just spent my Saturday afternoon battling the laundry room crowd since I haven’t had a chance to do laundry in the past month and the laundry benefit in the office is permanently gone. Where is the tech company developing nanobots that eat the dirt out of your clothes? I would take laundry nanobots over self-driving cars in a heartbeat

Game Time Decision

Laundry never ends. And love the multiple outfit changes in a day by my kids. Those clothes are now dirty, even tho they were on for, like, 5.6 seconds

Mr. Ayo

Oh god yes. This day is going superbly so far.

Mr. Ayo

Show the alley of disappointment!!

Sweet mother of Mary. A week in the office after 3 weeks at home feels like a month of Sundays.
But next week I’m off to see my sister, deci, and that prairie wino I let live until she gets tired of him.
Praise sweet Queen Victoria and her May month holiday! If you don’t love the Queen (other than the conquered states and those ungrateful Yankees) you can go suck on a copper nail.

Gumbygirl

Prairie Wino!

Doktor Zymm

Sucking on a copper nail doesn’t actually sound that bad though

Game Time Decision

Isn’t that the supplement to take whilst suntanning one’s taint?

Dunstan

I’m trying to understand what these “What if there was no Cup” commercials are supposed to mean. Are we imagining a world where there is no NHL championship, or just one where they don’t have a trophy, or the trophy looks different?

Because I’m pretty sure that people care a lot about winning the Super Bowl, the World Series, and the NBA Championships even though those trophies are less famous, less cool, and you can’t drink out of them.

Brick Meathook

Remember when there was an NHL strike and nobody noticed?

Buffalo is still a safe 2nd Amendment zone, godbless.

Bruins, Mapplethorpe Leafs, AND Panguins could all lose a game seven in the next 24 hours. It’s a Gary Bettman-mas miracle!

Did you see that ship pull a 180 and back into the harbor??

Brick Meathook

That’s the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas, (1000 ft, 140000 tons, 4000 passengers); it always does that because it can’t turn in the channel. Some other ships leave port by backing down the channel and then doing a U-turn before heading to sea.

That U-turn was the whole reason I shot this; this was my fourth test shot, setting up at point Fermin at 4 AM and sitting for three hours. I post the time-lapse tests here but nobody likes them. I’ve been shooting time-lapse my whole career, I’m restoring an entire film I shot inside the Washington Cathedral on 35mm film into HD 4K; I just got a kick-ass new Sony camera that takes my Leica and Zeiss lenses and shoots 6K so I’m looking forward to that.

ballsofsteelandfury

I like your films, specially the time lapses. Keep posting them!

yeah right

Important safety tip! If you’ve been on a mostly vegetarian diet for 3 months or so then decide to consume a big plate of barbecue be sure that there is a restroom readily available.

Might be here for a bit.

Sorry digestive tract, I should have warned you.

yeah right

I always harken back to those bullshit radio ads that advertise digestive system cleansing to get rid of toxins.

Fuck you cleansing people. I’m fully fucking cleansed over here.

The fuck is a toxin anyway?

I hope that pig gives all the fans worms.

The Leafs have nawt won a playoff series since 2004. Seriously.

Hahahahahha

I’m pretty sure everyone in the clubhouse hates the Leafs.

Sorry, I’ve been working outside all day and haven’t had time to get my blood alcohol level back to normal yet.

BC Dick

There’s no way the leafs don’t lose. Even the Canucks have outdone them in the playoffs since then.
The question is do they lose 7-1 or give up a 3 goal lead in the last 5 minutes to lose in overtime? I don’t know which I’d enjoy more.
