Good morning people, and welcome to the start of another work week. As usual we’ll be starting that week be screwing around and trying to select things based on whatever random topic is assigned, because that’s much better than getting those TPS reports done, or paying attention to whatever HR meeting you’ve been forced to attend.
This week’s topic comes to us from The Great White North, a place more than a few of us are now taking a more serious look at relocating to as the good ol’ USA continues its descent into something like the Taliban, but with better TV options. A hearty “fuck you” to the Supreme Court.
Back on topic, a few weeks ago Scotchnaut suggested “best combinations ever” as a topic. Could be Hall & Oates, (ugh), could be Surf n’ Turf, could be Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance. If it’s a combination, and a real one rather than the product of your fevered imaginations, it’s eligible.
Your commissioners for this draft are really the only possible combination:
Zan and Jayna, the most useless of the Justice League,finally find a use for their “form of an eagle, shape of a bucket of water” act and will be ruling on all things combination.
Fuck Gleep. The only purple monkey we respect here is Trent Green’s dishwasher.
Since this is Scotchnaut’s idea, and since for the first time in several weeks I’ve remembered to do this before noon EST, (BEST TIME!), on a Sunday, he gets the first pick. Once he’s done that, (or once the post goes live in @ 20 hours, because maybe Scotchy has a life and isn’t looking at his Slack messages on a weekend), it’s time for you to
Pills and coffee! Nate Donnis wrote a song about it, like to hear it, here ya go.

I guess the modern equivalent would be Netflixing and Chilling.

In the third round I’m going with speed, firepower and protection. Need a deep bench for the coming apocalypse.
Buddy Cole might object, but I’m going with penises and vaginas. Personally, I feel they go together quite nicely…
Assault and battery, like what happened to Rudy G yesterday.
A gentle slap on the back?
Second degree assault, according to the charging doc
I can’t imagine that’s going to survive a prosecutorial review.

My own combo-A crossword puzzle and a sunny morning on the deck. Can’t be beat.

Remember, it’s “combinations”, not just duos. With that, Carol Burnett and, in this case, Tim Conway and Vicki Lawrence.

People always forget Harvey Korman. I never forget Harvey Korman. I CAN’T forget Harvey Korman.
I don’t think he’s in this one. Video quality isn’t great but I think that’s Dick Van Dyke on the end.

You can, and perhaps should, draft Burnett, Conway and Korman.
Sara and Laura, former German women’s beach volleyball champs.
Never heard of them, still going to allow it.
Just my opening to get nice looking, scantily dressed ladies in the conversation.

Update on the car. I was right about the thermostat, which affected the coil, but they also pointed out that the timing belt and water pump need to be replaced, (true, because I haven’t had that done since the initial 100,000 mile replacement), so I’m borrowing cars for the work week and looking at significant-but-feared-it-could-have-been-worse bill.
Could’ve been worse.
Still better to repair than replace imo
At the quoted price, yes. Especially because most of it is related to the timing belt/water pump, which I’d have to have done, (and really already should have had done), if I’m keeping the car on the road to 300K.
Replace your entire cooling system: radiator, hoses, pump, thermostat, sensors. Your heater core may or may not get changed due to it’s location but it can be flushed and checked. These things wear out and need replacement at intervals; it’s routine so get a good price. A full replacement should run about $1000; amortize that over 100,000 miles and it’s cheap. Also, your timing belt should not be involved with this. I assume you mean your serpentine belt, which drives the accessories. If it’s old change that too.
Fish and chips
Acceptable accoutrements: tartar sauce, malt vinegar, lemons
Unacceptable accoutrements: peas (smashed or not)
Accoutrements would be a good draft topic.
I’ll take silver… And GOLD.
What about blue?
(fine, just an excuse to post maybe their best song)

The unofficial song of Senor Weaselo’s college roommate… after he broke up with his ex.
Did not, however, to my knowledge, get laid.
Empanadas and Mexican Coca-Cola.
Burgers ‘n’ fries.
But is it a sandwich?
The fries absolutely are. They contain the same ingredients as what goes into a potato bun, after all.
Beer and wings.
Chicken and dumplings
I assume once a combination has been picked, all items in the combination are off the board and cannot be used in future picks?
No, only that specific combination is off the board. Items in the drafted combination can b used again so long as that combo is different.
For instance, Armed&Hammered took Chicken & Dumplings. Chicken and waffles is still available.
I object.
Wait, no, I strenuously object.
I’ll take peanut butter and chocolate. (look at that dude strutting down the street with his chocolate bar like he owns the place)

What kind of anarchy-loving psychopath eats peanut butter straight from the jar, with their fingers, in public?
One who’s probably great in bed?

1. Bacon and Cheese
Steak and Bourbon, two great tastes that go great together!
We get like a Hall of Fame Game exhibition round to knock off the rust, right?
Scotchy is not around and I have the perfect pick to piss him off and I woke up early to go to work, so fuck it:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
“Pissing off” and “Scotchy”, a combination no Ontario hobo would dare draft.
