Good evening, how are you? I’m personally ecstatic: enjoying the summer breeze from my new rental. It sure is nice having a view that does not include two residential ruins just asking to be condemned. Although I liked the way the afternoon sunlight caromed off the exposed rebar. And you would be surprised how effective rotting, bloated wood blocks light—any kind! Shoutout to the rats and roaches over there: it’s your turf, I was just interlopin’ all these years.
I’m just kidding. The neighbors were wonderful. Truth is, I loved that shithole.
Of course, sensible folks—i.e., strangers to these whereabouts—would advise to celebrate the good only, and that’s it. These rational, mythical creatures would elaborate that putting down folks or places is unnecessary to enjoy, say, a new relationship or body part. But when you are a sports fan… Psht. Putting someone else down is part of the joy!
Every sports discussion has a winner and, therefore, a loser. If stats are the measure, context is antagonized—and vice-versa. All favorable free agent signings are judged by their former employers, and what troglodytes (the wrong NFL kind) they are. For sports fans,, it’s not enough to celebrate victories. Someone else has to suffer.
Sports fans have a natural affinity for the hate-listen, indulge in hate-reads from rival teams, and are virtuosic purveyors of hate clicks. Bleakness is the skin of a sportsfan, so I’m confident that last Friday will not break anyone’s will. Yeah, opening up the oil reserves would be fine. I would settle for opening the bile reserves.

GRANDES LIGAS
Atléticos (Blackburn) @ Y*nk*s (Montgomery) – 6:05
Piratas (Yajure) @ Nacionales (Fedde) – 6:05
¡Dato divertido! Nacionales was the name taken by the military Fascists in Spain back in 1936 for the Spanish Civil War. The Nationals were the Franco boys, whose greatest hits were Federico García Lorca and the town of Guernica (ft. La Luftwaffe). SCOTUS doth honor the ballclub’s name.

TOP FLIGHT FÚTBOL
Argentina
Atlético Tucumán hosts Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba – 7 PM
Paraguay
Tacuary hosts Sol de América – 7:15 PM
Per Wiki P, Sol de América is one of the mainstays of the Paraguayan top division. In English it’s “Sun of America”, which sounds more like a casualty insurer or bond company.
BTW, here are my most interesting bonds ranking:
6. Performance
5. Barry
4. Payment
3. James (Connery + Craig)
2. Bobby
1. Bastardy
Didn’t say better, but more interesting bonds. And now that the XVIIIth Century is HAWT again in the Free World, hells yeah bastardy bonds. North Carolina Bastardy Bonds is a book available on Amazon for $39.00—or! You could read it here. If clicking on the last link, note the last sentence of the first paragraph: “It is asked that in reading this material, the reader do so with love and understanding of the problems of these men and women”. That kind of understanding would have been too much for six current Supreme Court Justices.
FINALLY,
protest. Be heard. Resignation and complacency is their path to power. Maybe it’s a me-situation, but I’ve never met anyone who thinks “You know, I should have been more heeled and courteous”. Diplomats can get fucked.
Last funny;
supreme court: we’re nOT DONE DEPRESSING U YET [airhorn noises] get rrrrrrrrreadddyy forrrr west virginia versus E…P…….A [jock jams Are You Ready for This starts playing]
I live about 2 hours from D.C. Wife’s on vacation Friday thru Sunday. I guess I’ll go get tased or tear gas bombed or some fucking thing at some point this week. God, I have to get this family out of the USA.

For the record, I would try to make her day.
Funny story, it turns out I’m all that she wants, but sadly she doesn’t know me yet.
lol
I can’t remember who the fuck was at my college as a performer. I definitely remember I helped set up and tear down the stage on the low steps. And one of the performers climbed up a ways to roof while singing. Watched the whole thing from the rear and can’t remember the singers or the songs. Thought it was 50 cent but this was in the late 90’s before his time.
Is there such a thing as too many library cards?
Found a funny;
girls get nicknames because of affection and terms of endearment. guys get nicknames because they took french onion soup to a super bowl party one time
I miss watching games with people. COVID is spreading fast again here, but more mild symptoms. Maybe next year.
I want to meet a girl named Boofer
Figured out today that I have a leak in my hot water line in my slab. My wife picked an absolute lemon. From 1970 too! The era in which American quality was cut so low that the only way to get cheaper was China.
I’m gonna call the home warranty company on this. I hope they just run the lines through the attic and don’t make a fucking deal of this. The floor right there is already done and tiled.
I am not optimistic they will be cool.
So apparently the witness for tomorrow’s “surprise” 1/6 Committee hearing is a former aide to Mark Meadows.
Wonder why they are in such a hurry to get them on the record. Perhaps there have been attempts at coercion, and they don’t want to let those escalate/succeed?
Kinda underwhelmed, until I read that she’s already testified for 20 hours, which is a lot. So she might know a few things.
I mean, Meadows was apparently the point man for most of these efforts, so if she was a key aide to him, she may have witnessed all sorts of phone calls and meetings.
And she’ll have notes/emails. She might be better than Meadows, since he’d still try to lie or at least equivocate.
Oh and she also recently got new attorneys. IS IT YOU?
I’m officially out. Everyone knew trump and the gop were all dirty and the response was unreasonably neutral.
In going back to my libertarian ticket. We may have been wrong about the successful drug wars and even letting the government have a day one way or another in abortions but I’m just too damn rich to care this much about people who don’t want to win.
I’m thinking about high school sports and the only time I remember anyone praying was when late in our state tournament semifinal we fell behind 1-0 in the state tournament to a team we should have dominated. Some kids on the bench started praying with maybe two minutes left.
Didn’t help. We lost.
Well, I think we can all count on high school coaches not to abuse their authority.

so WEIRD that it’s always the party that accuses everybody else…just so damn inexplicably WEIRD
Hmm… I’m gonna guess you were playing… basketball?
Well, he grew up in a white area, so…yeah the score tracks.
Soccer. The team was really good that year. Almost every starter was back from the team that had won the state championship the year before, and for a little while the team was ranked #1 in the entire country.
Now tell us which country.
Oh, right, I forgot there are other countries. USA.
If ever overturn the legality leaving a watery shit in a Connecticut rest stop, I am done for
I’ll dig a hole by the side of the road and shit in that before I used a CT rest stop.
What if it’s at least 40% santorum?
I’m sad Roe vs Wade was overturned because my local Planned Parenthood had all the good Dum-Dum lollipops
I watched the abortion it’s always sunny last night.
They ain’t gonna make ’em like that anymore.
After an evening of shooting crap I locked off a camera (an iPhone 12 actually) on a car roof while I walked off and got handjobs from carnies. I missed the beginning of the teardown and it stops early because storage was full of a lot of crap shot earlier. But the middle here is okay.

That was informative!
This evening I found a young woman’s wallet on the sidewalk, and fortunately she had some business cards in it so I was able to return it.
I would be suspicious of anyone who still carries business cards.
It was a young woman – they weren’t really business cards, more business circles that advertised her nail services.
I haven’t had to use them much during the pandemic with almost everything being done remotely, but lawyers still use them here — the court clerks want them when you check in for a hearing.
“bur lawyers still use them”
Right, suspicious.
Can’t believe you would say such a thing!
That’s Rocking!
I say we create our own Supreme Court. Pepperoni and Sausage are a given, but what about green peppers, do they make the cut?
BANANA PEPPERS are the way to go.
Point of order. Cheese is the first ingredient. Your dissenting opinion on this matter makes you ineligible to provide further input.
Green peppers make the cut.
Objection! Sauce is the first ingredient. You mess that up, the whole pizza is compromised.
Sustained. I assumed it was part of the crust in my argument, when in fact, it is mostly definitely not.
No, pepadews!
No.
No reason for bell peppers to exist.
Black olives and lots of em.
And more meat.
As a side, always have sliced and pickled jalapeños. If they are pickled with carrots, they taste even better.
But that is really any meal.
I donated to my local abortion fund today and am trying very hard to convince lady BFC to let me go picket outside Clarence Thomas’s house
I’d rather go draw inverted pentagrams around Amy Coney Barrett’s house and do weird creepy shit that makes her think we’re casting spells on her.
Let’s call Christine O’Donnell and see if she has any tips.
That woman has brought great shame to the sacred name of “Coney”.
That island will never be the same.
hobo continues masturbating under the boardwalk, but sadly now
I’m not saying Clarence Thomas is a house slave… but you explain him then.
Last night:
A Love Letter To Everyone That Makes Hot Italian Sausages-
For the love of Luigi, lay off the goddamn fennel! It’s a HOT ITALIAN SAUSAGE, not a HOT LICORICE STICK. Fuck Sakes! Hot red pepper flakes, smoked hot paprika, regular peppercorns-embrace that. Dial back the fennel 75% AT LEAST. It’s a perfect complimentary flavour in an Italian sausage that makes all the other spices shine, not the star of the fucking show. I can’t believe that someone that is 50% Scottish/English has to point this out to you.
Regards,
Scotchy
Speaking of Luigi and love:
Fenbel is the only reason I’ve shunned that pizza toping since the late 90s.
And caraway seed can get fucked too.
Counterpoint: Fennel and caraway seed are delicious.

(hopefully not behind a paywall)
This is the best inside look at Mike Brown and who he really is. And yes, he is a cheapskate.
I’d say there) a 2/3 chance that Mike Brown was vastly more logical and coherent in his justifications for his choices than any current Supreme Court justice you might happen to debate.
Because God sent him to do the bidding?
Everything about this is awesome. The band’s name, the fact that their Finnish, that they’re doing AC/DC using a banjo and an anvil. Great stuff.

Joe’s a stand up guy.
Except during the regular season, when that swinging door of an offensive line will make that impossible.
Playoffs! Don’t forget playoffs! Even with an average offensive line, they would’ve won all four games not at the last second, with Burrow having clean jerseys and MRIs.
Tell me this guy runs for Senate when he retires from FITBAW.
It’s possible. Ohio has voted before for a guy in a wheelchair who led people out of a Great Depression.
This is why DFO exists.
Try and get that shit over at….I dunno, SI.com or whatever.
