Oh, We Got A Title Race Goin’

Did you remember to blow off work to watch City away to Arsenal mid-week?  An absolute cracker of a match.  King’s Afrikan Water Pistols outplayed the reigning champs for about 70′ – but were level at 1.  And those last 20′ were a dagger to the heart.

City now are ahead on goal differential, but Arsenal still have a game in hand (which is home against Very Disappointing Everton no less), so I don’t think the conclusion has been written.  Probably now a true 50/50 though, always enjoyable for the neutral.

Those same Pistoleros have a mighty quick turnaround, playing the Early Bird Special at Villa (7:30, USA).  To be a true title challenger, you need to rise to occasions on mornings like this.  Will be fascinating to see if they do, and how many changes Handsome Mikel makes to his XI.

USA is televising the scheisse porn between Everton and Leeds at 10.  Just to be mean, I guess.  City get the Robins Hood on Peacock, watch that and see if they have a wee hangover.  Brighton and Fulham should be a tasty treat, too.  Just ignore my Ded Toffees if at all humanly possible.

Bonesaws/Redshite is your Spotlight Dance (12:30, NBC).  Hard.  Fookin.’  PASS.

Sunday should be worthwhile, with Men Untied hosting Lester (9:00, USA), followed by Spurs/Hammers (11:30, USA).  Tottenham just might be killing poor Antonio Conte.  He wouldn’t be the first, nor would he be the last.  Whereas Moyes just has to be happy that 35 points should keep the Hammers safe.  It’s that dreadful at the ass end of the Table.

Hang in there, folks.  We still are months away from Draft weekend.  UGH.

Balls is taking over the Saturday Night beat until JV kicks back off, huzzah!  He will no doubt have somee excellent depravity for all y’all.

And now Jimmy Carter is receiving hospice care at home. Damn. Very decent person, hope his passing is as painless as possible.

Is it too much to ask for him to take Kissinger with him? Probably. But I know Jimmy is far to kind to get upset with me for asking.

St. Peter: “All I know if Jimmy Carter started talking to me and then before I knew it, Kissinger rushed into the Pearly Gates. Sorry, sir.”
God: “It happens. I’ll have Satan come by to pick his ass up next time he comes up for Poker Night.”

I hold no ill will towards him. He was in a no win scenario and picked the wrong time to be President.

Give him the good pain meds.

I hold no ill will towards him

Why would you feel the need to say that?

Redshirt

I had no ill intent (pardon the pun); just a phrase I like to use. Personally, I find Carter to be a good President and a better person, who was unlucky enough to be in office when certain things outside his control occurred. As much as I like Ronald Reagan (much to some of your’s disagreement), I believe that if the Iran Revolution or energy crisis doesn’t occur, the American people doesn’t return a Republican to White House six years after Nixon left it in disgrace.

From the outside looking in, the guy was far more optimistic about the people he was governing than anyone around him. Folks yak about the “Liberal Media”. T’was the very same media that tore him apart. A genuinely good person doesn’t stand a chance at the highest levels of U.S. government.

First Raquel Welch and then Stella Stevens and now Jimmy Carter?

All the hot snatch is dying off left and right.

scotchnaut

Jimmy Carter’s Hot Snatch was The War On Drug’s opening act in La Paz, Bolivia. ppl forget that

People say Carter’s such a good guy, but every knows you can’t trust anyone who worked on nuclear subs.

Brick Meathook

He was too good for this world.

Arlington has an XFL team? Did Ft. Worth hold out for more money?

If it’s not, it should be. You should copyright it, then suggest it to McDonalds, and then sue them when they use it. You might win some BOGO coupons!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Did I ever tell the story of how I used a BOGO coupon for a pair of Angus Steakhouse Burgers at Carl’s Jr. but they screwed up my order so I complained online and they gave me two more burgers for free so it was basically four burgers for the price of one?

I love when you tell that story.

Cthullu help me, I’m going to watch some XFL today.

You sicko. You’re absolutely unhinged. Seek help ASAP.

How did they determine the point spreads and O/U?

scotchnaut

Hmmm… Iowa State vs Kansas State-and both teams are ranked in the top 20. This should be an amazing corn-shucking contest! [turns channel to contest] Basketball! Basketball? [pulls zipper back up]

Ooof! This tilt looks like like an old Big East tussle. The refs are ‘letting them play’, as the saying goes.

UConn is opening a can of whoop-ass on Seton Hall. Most schizoid team I think I’ve ever followed.

Horatio Cornblower

In an interesting development, UConn has opened a can of whoop-ass on themselves and have turned a 16 point lead to 6 with 55 seconds to go.

Just put a large order in at Treehouse to be picked up. Looking forward to my wife’s call when she gets the credit card notification momentarily.

My response, “I’m picking up dinner at BT’s Smokehouse on the way back” will immediately shut down any questions.

LemonJello

I don’t use the term “genius” lightly…

Heard good things about Butt Touch Smokehouse.

Horatio Cornblower

I’m sure they do an excellent smoked butt.

Big day for DFO Lesser Footy: Arsenal pulls it out late, Fulham pulls it out late, Wrexham plays an absolutely insane game late, Everton isn’t disappointing, and I’m sure the Spanish teams did something.

THESE GUYS ARSENAL AND FULHAM I CALL THEM TRAVIS HENRY AND ANTONIO CROMARTIE BECAUSE THEY PULLED IT OUT LATE.

Buck Parlay at it again, and off to a rootin’-tootin’ start, too! Went with 3-2 Liverpool and goals by Nuñez and Isak to win $109 and this one is a REAL WHIZBANG!!!
