Your Mid-Day Thanksgiving Day Open Thread

So. Much. Sports. As it should be. College basketball is starting to get feisty as you’ve got Villanova/Iowa State, Florida/Xavier and Nebraska/Oklahoma going on. And for those that love a parade there’s that as well. I think there was some footy earlier as well. A veritable cornucopia for one’s eyes is what this day is. I do hope that everyone is getting along in their respective houses but if there is drama, you’ve an obligation to spill.

To The Game!

Giants/Cowboys:

-This is going to be horrible isn’t it? Gah, let’s just go over the bloody details.

-Dallas is 72-46-2 vs the Giants all-time and have won 10 of the last 11.

-The Cowboys lead the league in sacks with 40 and Dimes is the 3rd-most sacked qb with 30. Both those totals will rise today.

-Since Dak has returned from injury the O has been just humming along to the tune of 35.25 points per game.

-He’s made his bones recently by picking on backup cb’s so he should have a field day today.

-You see, the Giants lost cb1 Adoree Jackson and some other starters so struggling rookie Cor’Dale Flott and Nick McCloud may get the pleasure of having burn marks up and down their backsides. The latter guy must be a recent callup from the practice squad because I’ve not come across his name before.

-The 0-line has its issues as well with up to 4 starters not being able to play today. Micah Parsons might go nuts.

-Hopefully the run game will be effective because the pass-catchers available are Cager, the dreadful Golladay, some dude poached from the Bills (Hodgkins), ball-dropper David Sills and sorta good Darius Slayton.

-It’s going to hurt.

Enjoy the festivities.

Dad: “Why are the Giants taking too much damn time?!”

Me: “This is your first Giants game in a while?”

Senor Weaselo

And everyone who took Dallas does inside.

Overpaid dickheads get free sweaters, let’s all be Thankful!

Not anymore — Elon Musk

Mr. Ayo

Nailed it!

Senor Weaselo

This isn’t giving the ball to Pollard!

Doktor Zymm

Ok, no matter how hard you try a Dimebag just ain’t as good as whatever Jerry Jones is snorting

Dunstan

Just finished the first plate of actual dinner. Going to watch the rest of this game with a drink while I decide whether the next move is dessert or plate #2.

Doktor Zymm

I went extra dinner roll, then nibbly desserts with mixed drinks

Dunstan

I do have some of the mini quiche and stuffed clams appetizers to tide me over…

Doktor Zymm

That sounds excellent, many good options for allocating your remaining digestives space!

Senor Weaselo

3rd and 25? NFL BLITZ!

Doktor Zymm

If you say he’s your favourite character, I believe you!

Doktor Zymm

Hey, Giants, STOP SUCKING AND SCORE SOME SCORES

Senor Weaselo

Once again, fuck the Salvation Army.

Doktor Zymm

Religious military can fuck right off

CD Lamb is the name of my most conservative investment portfolio

Nawt bad if you can get 5%

Mr. Ayo

Only seeing 4% right now. Stupid lamb portfolio.

Doktor Zymm

I blame New Zealand for fleecing the market

Dunstan

You sound sheepish.

Dunstan

I bought it through my broker, E.F. Mutton

Doktor Zymm

Job I have a first interview for on Monday is okay with me not starting until April or May, I wonder if they would be okay with me not starting until October? Will ask. Think I really want to do this 2 month sailing thing

Senor Weaselo

Well, the lack of depth was due to get them into trouble in the end.

litre_cola

Of course the line is 10.5. Gamblor will forsake me, as is custom.

Doktor Zymm

Do you know how much say he’ll have in the draft?

Doktor Zymm

No, the internet will not crash, nor will it be made of tubes or become less than 80% porn and cute animal pictures

Pugs, Peni$, and Pu$$y, the 3 P’s.

Doktor Zymm

THIS GIANTS TEAM, I CALL THEM A CIRCLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CORNERS

Horatio Cornblower

Man, I haven’t seen a Penn State product drop something like that since Joe Paterno couldn’t figure out what “rhythmic slapping” meant.

Horatio Cornblower

“unstoppable” is a funny way to spell “diving cunt” vis-a-vis Harry Kane.

Horatio Cornblower

My father didn’t finish this because he had to drive. I do not, and did.

Gonna need to switch over to water soon.

Doktor Zymm

Vodka is a little water

Horatio Cornblower

Jesus, Dallas did everything they could to keep themselves out of the end zone there and they still scored.

Doktor Zymm

Gettin’ Dak’s fantasy score to the HIGH single digits

BugEyedBoo

Low double digits, TYVM.

King Hippo

This inevitable FG drive is so boring and forever taking.

Horatio Cornblower

Ist and and goal from the 15 seems like an ideal time to run it right into the fucking line, Mike.

Doktor Zymm

Open another bottle of wine, or make a cocktail? Or maybe a neat Lagavulin?

King Hippo

Yes

Doktor Zymm

Went with some of the last of Litre’s Winter Berry Gin, a splash of Lillet, a dash of orange bitters, and top with soda water. Delish!

Doktor Zymm

I got a standard Lagavulin 16 open, and an Offerman edition I haven’t opened yet and might take to Chi

litre_cola

Gotta say that would be a breath of fresh air at the Post Office.

Gumbygirl

When I worked at the Post Office, we had a guy who opened his mailbox and pissed through it.

King Hippo

These Vertically Enhanced Persons just can’t get off the pitch on 3rd and long.

Doktor Zymm

What is up with all the power button lookin’ avatars? Summin’ broke?

Horatio Cornblower

I’m just riding it out.

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah, I go back with the Cowboys to the days of Staubach inventing the Hail Mary when Drew Pearson didn’t push off at all, and even I don’t see a hold on that.

Horatio Cornblower

If Dak! could stop throwing the balls into coverage and/or to the Giants I think Dallas has a good chance.

King Hippo

Apparently, a blind person on LSD dresses Kevin Olsen.

Gumbygirl

Is he wearing a knitted tie? That’s totally 80’s! Gumby has a box of ties through the ages. Some of them are rad!

Dunstan

Nah, the true 80s tie is the skinny leather. Still have one!

Gatoraids

Hard to find something that matches that chin

King Hippo

But Gov. Richards even did a guest turn on King of the Hill!

Doktor Zymm

Ok, done with my Black Friday shopping before 3:15 pm on Thursday

Doktor Zymm

I love me some Alpaca socks y’all

King Hippo

There ain’t nothing better than top-shelf socks.

King Hippo

Gary Gnu is Gnold!

King Hippo

Sneak, spike, placement.

King Hippo

Guy #1: Why don’t the Giants get aggressive here?

Guy #2: Totally agree!

Dimebag: Hold my beer!!!

King Hippo

Somebody should give Daboll a fitbit. That gesticulating to the ref would be the highlight of his November.

King Hippo

Yeah, I read an in-depth piece on him a few weeks ago, he says he stress eats A LOT during the season, and is up a few stone since summer. Imagine if they get into the PLAYOFFS.

Doktor Zymm

Is it possible he is a bird and NEEDS to eat stones for his gizzard? Some sort of endangered EMU mayhaps?

King Hippo

I was actually eating leftovers instead of napping. But the turkey and gravy might get to me in Q3.

King Hippo

oh, I kept watching. Just left the laptop upstairs. I am so old, I have teevee boxes EVERYWHERE

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Alrighty peeps arriving, time to be social with a side of bartending for myself. Grateful for all you online weirdos. Peace.

litre_cola

Bahahaha Dakerception 2.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Looks like Lamb led that pigskin to slaughter

Senor Weaselo

HAMCEPTION 2: IT STILL ISN’T TURKEY!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

All right folks, I’m going to be radio silent for the rest of the afternoon. I wish you all a wonderful feasting, and I’ll see you on the other side of the banquet table.

Senor Weaselo

Nice to know they couldn’t splurge on a World Cup version of the Fox music. BRING BACK THE MLB ON FOX MUSIC, YOU MONSTERS!

Nice of the NFL to schedule a boring game we can nap through.

Jazz bath does NAWT sound bad

Horatio Cornblower

probably better than watching a football game where the last 4 plays have been 3 penalties and a time-out

BrettFavresColonoscopy

If England loses to us in the World Cup, they should have to behead Liz Truss in the public square

Doktor Zymm

Or the lettuce

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

No it should be that King Charles has to put hot dog buns on each of his fingers and walk around referring to himself as Sir Sausage-Roll-Hands.

Dunstan

Pretty sure that’s his kink. I mean, that and the human tampon thing.
