LaboUr Day Open Thread

I’m filling in for Don T this evening, who is busy doing…something else, I guess. I didn’t ask. I just assume it has something to do with vengeance against a poorly run power company. Best not to get too involved.

Like most Americans I had Labor Day off, one of many things we can thank unions for. Not that I’m in a union. Can you imagine a union of attorneys? It would be worse than herding cats; it’d be like trying to watch a bunch of soaking wet cats fuck their way out of a very wet paper bag. Just awful people.

Anyway, I spent the day quickly writing a mock draft, having forgotten that it was Monday last night, which was Sunday, because I didn’t have work today, Monday, even though I should have picked up on that last night while watching ‘House of the Dragon’, which airs on Sunday. Got all that? Clearly, neither did I.

In my defense I did spend last night writing angry letters to HBO that someone got Negroes in my fantasy fiction about dragons and magic and magic dragons. And incest. Did I write angry letters complaining that none of the Valyrian characters have violet eyes, as is canon? Nope, I only complained about the Black ones. But don’t call me a racist! I’m just a passionate fan who is very concerned that the TV show about magic incestuous dragons hew to the books on matters of race and skin color, and literally nothing else. Does that sound racist to you? Don’t answer that.

I see I’m at 257 words. What’s on TV tonight?

JV Footy: Clemson v. Ga. Tech, 8:00 pm ESPN. I hope Dabo loses all his good players to SEC schools that pay them more money. Cry about it, Dabo.

MLB: (various times after 7:00 pm EST, various regional channels)
Rangers v. Asterisks, Cleveland Spiders, (if anyone there had any marketing sense AT ALL) v. Royals, Tigers v. Angels, (forcing someone to watch that game would be a war crime), Giants v. Dodgers, (someone will almost certainly commit a war crime in the parking lot after this game).

Sexi Mexi Lesser Footy: Toluca v. Monterrey. (10:00 pm, Fox Deporte). This looks like a women’s game, so you can call it Sexy and still stride into that bar like a true man!

USL Championship Lesser, (and I do mean “lesser”) Footy: Hartford Athletic v. LA Galaxy II, (thanks for the effort, LA marketing team), at 10:30 on ESPN+. Go Athletic!

US Open Tennis: Round of 16. 7:00 pm, ESPN2, various affiliated networks). Serena already lost, so no one cares.

Get to typing folks and remember, while you’ve got work tomorrow you’re also only 72 hours away from the NFL regular season.
