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:
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality [in bed].
Albert Einstein
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.
There’s a tiny neighborhood parade before the big one here, and there have been like 5 groups in 20 minutes. But the local freemasons shower up early and brought tiny American flags for the children.

It’s July so of course I’ve got an Xmas movie on. Btw, shoutout to the (I assume) lecherous casting director because despite all the sweaters being worn, this could very easily be called A Very Busty Christmas.

“We want to thank Baker for all his contributions to the Cleveland Browns,” owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam said in a statement. “From the moment he was drafted, he gave his all for this organization and this city. With his fierce competitive spirit, he excited the fanbase and accomplished things that no player at his position had done in Cleveland for a very long time… So, being The Cleveland Browns, we played him when he was obviously injured, replaced him with a man accused by over 24 different women of sexual assault, and threw him away like he was used toilet paper for practically nothing in return”

While he’s far from perfect this was a pretty damn good letter from our Guvnor:
“One of the reasons I wanted to run an ad in Florida on Independence Day is because we cannot allow Ron DeSantis and the Republican Party to own the word “freedom” in the political debate.
We’re going to fight to reclaim that word.
Because true freedom means you can afford to go to a doctor without going bankrupt.
True freedom means you can spend time with your newborn child instead of being rushed back to work days later.
True freedom means you can go to a movie, a parade, a church or an elementary school without fear of getting shot.
True freedom is a woman and her doctor making the health care decisions she needs.
True freedom means being able to love the person you love without fear of discrimination.
True freedom means you don’t have to choose between the cost of putting food on the table and the medicine you need to live.
True freedom means being able to go into a library and not wonder which books have been banned recently.
True freedom means graduating college and being able to pursue a career of your choice without the burden of a life’s worth of debt.
True freedom means living life without the fear that large portions of the planet will be uninhabitable for future generations.
The DeSantis vision of freedom is a fraud. It’s a vision where people were free to get COVID and give it to whoever they want; it’s a vision where people are free to carry guns everywhere and everyone has to live in fear of getting shot; it’s a vision where the wealthy and powerful have the freedom to dictate their terms to everyone else.
So no, we are not going to let them own the word freedom going forward. We’re taking it back.
That’s why we ran that ad.
All my best,
Gavin”
yeah right
Serving on a Grand Jury opened my eyes a bit. While its nice that all felonies in Ohio have to be indicted by a Grand Jury, even if its obvious of the guilt (one defendant even testified before us admitting their guilt), it can get tiresome.
We had a case where a young girl was abused and you could see the pain in her eyes, and the county prosecutor admitting he was using this as practice for testifying in the Jury Trial, despite all evidence proving guilt. While its nice getting her comfortable telling her story and the Grand Jury was reassuring her, too, my heart did break for her.
Another was a drug bust where 50 cases was literally the same thing with the same words and obvious guilt. The prosecutor said it had to go in order so he could show conspiracy to shut down the apartment complex that was promoting the drug use, but hearing the same wordage over and over got tiring quickly.
My biggest issue was its leaned completely slanted against the accused. One person was accused of taking money away from a cash register. This is a quasi-literal transcript from the testimony:
Me: “Do you have any proof she took the money?”
Owner: “The Register was short.”
Me: “Who counted the register before?”
Owner: “I did.”
Me: “Did anyone verify the count?”
Owner: “No.”
Me: “Do you have a security camera watching the register?”
Owner: “It was broken.”
Me: “You should probably get that fixed. What proof do you have that she took the money?”
Owner: “She stole the money!”
Prosecutor: “I think we’re getting off track.”
I was outvoted and she was indicted for Theft. Karma did hit the owner though; the restaurant went out of business within a year. I’m sure that’s comfort to the person who has a charge on her record, and most likely a conviction.

Speaking of Ice Football, Russia ‘s Kiril Kaprizov has been told to get the fuck out of dodge in Russia as the Rooskies are now claiming he’s a wanted fugitive for draft dodging.
Attacking Russian athletes is a tad unusual for Putin’s playbook; especially one that will likely succeed Ovie as the next Russian hockey God

I wonder if Putin is now so far up his own asshole that he can’t see how things like that will backfire? Rooskies love their ICE FITBAW even MOAR than authoritarian governance.
Not quite as much as vodka, though.

Not talking trash but got the call yesterday that my high school is inducting me into the sports hall of fame.

So has anyone seen that BBC show “Escape to the Country” before? It’s on some network called DABL on my cable feed, and it’s a show where British city folk wanna buy a nice rural house somewhere in the UK, so the host shows them 3 different houses within their budget and they usually don’t end up moving to any of them, but it’s full of lovely greenery and is becoming my “calm down” show when I need heroin but don’t want to actually take heroin.

“Unlike the NFL/NBA drafts, in the NHL there are no strutters, walking up to meet the commissioner in their gold-trimmed fedoras, confident in their future, their tight-fitting purple suits, with their bulging crotches glistening in the lights, no thoughts of going home to an over-bearing witchbitch. These humble white boys represent all that’s good about America.”

If you’re ever feeling inadequate or have imposter syndrome, just remember that UPS is a successful package delivery company that is worse at delivering packages than anyone else is at absolutely anything at all. I can speak Swahili better than they can deliver packages and I know exactly one word of Swahili, so if they somehow manage to make money and persevere, then by comparison you are truly amazing! Congrats to all of you!

I want to set up some sort of corporate Thunderdome where companies that I hate are forced to battle to the death, and then we, the spectators execute the winner. Today’s episode: UPS vs PG&E
I expect PG&E will attempt to set UPS on fire, but UPS will be late and at the wrong Thunderdome so will emerged unscathed. They will arrange to battle at some lockers behind the dome, but the lights will be out so both companies will declare bankruptcy while stealing the ticket money from the till.
