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.

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!
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”.
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.
Unless Balls is actually…John Kruk?
This is off on a tangent, but why isn’t “hot dog” hyphenated?
Because of all the dog in it?
Great point! And people say hot dogs, not hots dog.
Isn’t the issue here really that hot is an adjective modifying the dog/dogs whereas Robin may be more akin to Attorneys General?
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.
It definitely should be in quotes at all times.
Co- signed.
No sandwich is hyphenated.
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.
hey Balls, will you #ShameBet Litre if the Kangs and Flamers meet up next round?
The shamebet should be whomever loses flies to the others town for a weekend of drinking.
Absofuckinglutely!!
I’ve seen each of you in your own cities and would love to reprise that!

E2C Hawkeye
TRUE HIPPO FACT! When I got married, I did NOT ask the future-now-former wife’s father for permission. But I did ask Hawkeye (her cat, who I was proud to then call my son).
We had a funeral for that cat in the kids’ basement playroom, and I swear half the damned neighborhood showed up. Righteous dude, him.
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.
Wrong Hawkeye:
Sorry for not watching hockey, but what else are we doing whilst drinking tonight?
I am having my male menopause hot flashes, so I am enjoying that part of my late 40s
Honestly, I always pictured you as in your 50s
spiritually, YES
I mean, Saturday night is holding a cold water bottle against my shameful gut, hoping to bring the temperature down (it really is only 73 inside here) enough that I can pass out.
So, this really is you, eh?
Dressed less formally, and not bald. Otherwise, TOTES
Someday you’ll live the dream.
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.
ah, we noe that means drunkenly masturbating to Jessica Jones, you using your bachelor time well!
I do have a thing for Krysten Ritter but also have other things to masturbate to.
*blushes*
Reading books like the proper drunk nerds we are.
Whatcha reading?
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.
I’m not a huge Le Carre fan. But I can’t judge, I’m currently going back to Knausgaard’s pre-memoir stuff.
Not into his six book Mein Kampf adaptation? Smart!
I’ve read four of those. I hate how much I like them.
I’m on book 14 of the Akitada Mysteries series
Holy crap! That’s only 2/3 of the series. I’ll have to check it out.
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.”
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?
As a geography professor, I endorse this.
“And when I came to the topologically equivalent spoon in the road, the road I took was irrelevant because my journey was reducible to a scalar quantity and thus the integral of each path was equivalent.”

Relative Booty is somewhere in between then?
Wait, that’s probably a southern search term on pornhub.
May there someday be a game where it’s a QB battle of Booty v. Cousins
Just went through all the pro QB names and here is the list:

King Booty
Case Booty
Booty Hurts
Will Booty

Are you sure these are the right “pros”?
NFL money is going to these folks one way or another, so yes.
Stick Booty seems a bit of a “jumbo shrimp” kinda thingie
There’s got to be a Jackson joke here somewhere. I can’t find it. If only Wendell Stepmom was still playing.
“Cowboys General Booty” has an entirely new hit on the search engine.
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.
consensual sex during pregnancy.
“THE LORD SAYS RAPE AND INCEST ARE GOOD!”

Off to shower after +1ing that comment
Luckily, given the literacy rates in Mississippi, most lawyer types down there won’t be aware of that.
In the short term – for the love of monkeyfuck, don’t live in MS. Or any of the Deep South. Or fucking Texas.
I give it two years, tops, before this Court makes us all Mississippi.
But but I’ve got 6 and a half years before retirement.
C’mon IRA daddy needs a new country!
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.
Whoa whoa whoa, the US Supreme Court has already made it abundantly clear that women have no value at any age, except prenatally.
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.
hydration is well-important ppl forget that
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
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
Oh god yes. This day is going superbly so far.
Show the alley of disappointment!!
TAMPA!
So…they play an ad – during play – for the goddamned event we are ALREADY WATCHING??

Meh, perhaps I will turn on the Mapplethorpe Leafs just for the schadenfreude comradery,
Never mind
Padres are not rocking today
Found a funny;

Shoutout to the Leafs!

Yay Baseball ⚾️
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.
Ferget HAYELL!!!!!!!
Prairie Wino!
oh, he’s GOOD with a turn of phrase
Sucking on a copper nail doesn’t actually sound that bad though
Isn’t that the supplement to take whilst suntanning one’s taint?
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.
Remember when there was an NHL strike and nobody noticed?
Buffalo is still a safe 2nd Amendment zone, godbless.
Just gonna assume Rev was nowhere near for sanity’s sake.

This little shit had a manifesto, inspired by Tucker Cockbite. I know, I’m shocked too.
Another fucking Domi? They’ve got to be related.

That all makes sense.

Did you see that ship pull a 180 and back into the harbor??
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.
I like your films, specially the time lapses. Keep posting them!

FUN FACT #2 about the Geographically Disparate Whalers – they have a skating pig mascot, that they call Stormy. Like that porn lady who was gonna run for Senate from Louisiana.

Toronto FC lost in extra time, which I fear bodes ominous for the MANY Leafs supporters we have in the Clubhouse. #CanadasTeam
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.
plus, you know how goodly I is with teh Queen’s English
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.
Behold, my lunacy hath summoned BC DICK!!
