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.
So, as I mentioned on the weekend, I got the Christmas lights up on the house as it was a nice warm day here, 18C or so. As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, I put them up in a snow storm one year, and will not do that again, so while it’s early to have them up, it got me thinking about when it’s okay to start turning the lights on at night? what say you?
When is it okay to start turning on ones Christmas lights

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment [in bed].

This is totally how the shocker was invented, isn’t it.
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.
Thanks Hippo! I was unable to watch any yesterday, except for about 5 minutes in which I got to see the CMC catch, so that was perfect timing.
With the Buccs loss, I imagine once the divorce is final, Dreamboat will blame all his failures on his x-wife (welcome to the group Tom – there is instant decaff and week old donuts over on the table) and tries to play next year to show the world it was HER fault, only to suck even more. Tarnishing his legacy in the eyes of all as he looks pathetic and weak. (Please oh Mighty Morrigan Goddess of Fate, Death, and War; let this happen)

I have been farting around with our olive tree for nearly 20 years. To get 3-4 jars of green dinky olives in a good year, frequently nothing. This past summer was the hottest, driest that I can recall. Bumper crop this year. My pizza will have home grown through the spring.

So I got a unscheduled very small raise yesterday out of the blue. I said to my boss, “I have been off on medical leave for 3 months?”
“Well, it’s not like you killed someone. If you weren’t doin a good job obviously you would get nothing.” (He is french and I burst out laughing)
It is apparently because I am so low in the salary bracket for my peers due to being promoted only 2 years ago that he wants to play catch up with me and my peer in Vancouver.
I told him that I plan to leave in 3 1/2 years. He laughed and said “We will see about that mon frere.”
Very weird day.

In 2020, the Phoenix Coyotes drafted a player who had spent years bullying and directing racial slurs at a disabled classmate, culminating in a conviction in juvenile court. Phoenix knew of this, but drafted him anyway, because they’re a trash organization, but then backed down and disclaimed his rights when it became a controversy.
This shithead was signed by an NHL team today. What kind of a scumbag organization would sign someone like that, you ask? What kind of a fanbase would tolerate overt racism from….
ok, yeah, you’ve all figured it out by now. It was Boston. Just in case I didn’t hate the Bruins enough.

GG’s comment reminded me about a story the father of an ex told me. When they moved into a new house (the negotiations were difficult because said father was a difficult, odd man*) the previous owners removed all the light bulbs and on/off light fixtures from the house. That’s Next Level petty.
while ex was driving he said-I was there-“Ex’s name!!*, don’t pass a tractor trailer, a woman in Toronto died from a flying hubcap two weeks ago. Did you not read that in the news?”
**ex has a very distinctive name and has been on CBC several times as ‘a Senators fan/expert’

Came home last night to find an entire pizza left on my doorstep. It was ice cold, so presumably had been misdelivered hours ago. This presented me with quite the moral dilemma. Heat up a slice or eat it cold?

It’s because we touch ourselves.
If that were the case, I’d have a swimming pool.
Which I do.
EDIT: I was trying to make a joke about tiny Horatio having a pool too (it’s the kitchen sink) but I can’t get the subscript to work. Anyhow, you get the joke, so make with the laugh-laugh.
I do not, in fact, have a pool. So there.

Some people on the internet are freaking out that Katy Perry may have voted for a Republican. Yeah, maybe you shouldn’t put celebrities on a pedestal on the off chance that the former Christian pop singer you idolize is a Conservative.
Christian and Conservative.
Gee, who would have thought that?
Internet: “Don’t vote party, _______. Evaluate each candidate and choose the one you want to vote for.”

Somebody in CA won the lottery. How unfair is that? I live in OH, and I could’ve really used the peace of mind that literally a billion dollars* would have given me.
*actually would have had to split it with two of my shithook brothers, so $333m before taxes.
I heard no one won and it was up to $2.4 billion.
It would be so unlike the local morning news to be wrong.
One winning ticket, sold in Alradena, CA. Maybe Rikki?
That’s Balls’ country, actually.
Oh right, well hopefully we can call him Billionaire Balls.
You can call me that no matter what, but I didn’t win.
Yes, Altadena is Balls country and I think I actually know the place where the ticket was sold. If anything, I’m happy for the owners of the business. My understanding is they get a share of the prize.
It’s true, nobody in CA is particularly fussed about money. We’re so socialist and rich that nobody even owns their own cars – in Beverly Hills Cop when Jenny says “we just take whichever car is closest” she wasn’t actually joking.
In all seriousness if anyone from DFO ever won I think it would be fair to demand that they buy new rugs for the clubhouse.
Need something to really hold the place together.
Aside from the duct tape and used chewing gum.
Well, it rhymes with gum…
I missed those olives the first time. Damn, that’s sweet. Good growing.
Ma Nature did me a good one this season.
Goddamn, I am sorry I missed Ayo’s comments about The Dwarves. Outstanding call back and also a really cool band. They used to have a T-shit that had their name and some graphic on the front, with “Teach Your Children To Worship Satan” on the back.

I really enjoyed how the afternoon thread took a turn and everyone started making light of Matt Stafford’s weight problem. After all, you can’t spell “Matt Stafford” without the letters “S-O” and “F-A-T” and also an extra “F-A-T” just to drive the point home.
still love the nick name of “Fat Sackford” for him
“Stat Padford” is pretty good too.
I wouldn’t go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What’s the Stafford gonna do?
I hate it when That’s My Raiders! have a worse record than all of the other teams I like to make fun of.
I’m sure scotchy will be relieved to learn that I won $8 and he’ll be receiving none of it.
