Please do not wake up early to a bunch of wanking over the Redshite (away to Bournemouth – 7:30, USA). PLEASE.
Most of the tension is for the 10:00 windowm with Very Relegation Friendly Everton hosting Praise Beesus (10:00, USA). At least, I suspect that is what will get USA coverage. The NBC Sports website is being a pain in Hippo’s arse and not loading for the current week. This has Draw written all over it, but hopefully in entertaining fashion. We shall see.
Stream Hungover Spurs hosting the Robins Hood, or even Lester/Chelski. Methinks those will be available on Peacock.
Spotlight Dance is Previously Interesting Palace hosting City of Men (12:30, NBC). Limping to the finish line, perhaps even drawn into the relegation scrap? Viera’s men need to snap out of their doldrums, post haste. City know they probably need to win out to repeat as Champions. Expect to see performances umprove, unless they rotate the squad to focus on Shempions League (they won’t).
Four Sunday fixtures, highlighted by Arsenal away to Mighty Whitey (10:00, USA?). What a tasy treat that should be. Do turn in.
UPDATE – Hippo’s broadcast guesses were WRONG. Chelski/Lester picked for USA, Toffees/Bees sugary on Peacock only. And they picked the unwatchable Hammers/Villans for Sunday broadcast. Use that streaming machine.
Lots of JV hoopsball finals today, and a few semifinals. I remain nonplussed by the whole endeavoUr. YMMV.
We’re watching ‘Physical 100’ at our house and I don’t want to make racial generalizations but Koreans are all insane.
The competitions are basically “four of you will do this difficult task until three of you are dead. The winner gets $22 US.”
We stopped watching after two events. They didn’t seem very well-conceived.
Now who’s being racist?
Listen, I don’t have to take this kind of crap from a dirty…oh. Huh. Hey, you’re right!

Just wanted to take a minute and appreciate just how relentlessly negative and pessimistic The Last of Us is. Great stuff.
That’s the game I’m playing now.
Pulled pork will be ready in 49 minutes…
If you had a pressure cooker it’d already be done.
I did pressure cook it. 10 minutes to get up to pressure, 40 on, and then 20 pressure release.
Yummy.
Today is my 28th wedding anniversary. And also my wife’s. Apparently the traditional gifts on such occasions are orchids or amethyst jewelry.
We’re going out for pizza.
Add some red onions, and their purplish tint will accomplish the same thing as orchids or amethyst.
If I had red onions to her meal I won’t have to worry about a 29th anniversary.
We’re trying a new fancy wood-fired place the next town over. As is tradition when trying a new pizza place we will get one cheese and one pepperoni. Our return will be determined on how well they do these.
I once won a dog in a truth-telling contest at a church carnival in the next town over. Wait, no, that was two towns over.
I once knocked up a descendent of a duchess. That wasn’t during a church carnival, though.
“And it’s our 5th anniversary-what am I, chopped liver?”

I don’t know how many times I have to say this, but Fafnir is free range, goddammit!
Everybody sing!

I am unapologetically watching the World Baseball Classic. This Mexico Colombia game has been fantastic.
The WBC is fantastic, as long as you really like Japan, the DR, or the USA.
Australia vs Korea the other night was insane. Korea ain’t making it out of pool play and Australia will get their asses handed to them in the single elimination but damn that was a fun game.
@blaxabbath I benched 175 this morning for the first time in about a year and it’s all thanks to you!
He picked up something weighing one pound 175 times throughout year and acts like it’s impressive.
/tomorrow
“Blax, I can’t lift my shoulder above my head for the first time in about a year and it’s all thanks to you!”
Actually that’s one of the things I’m happy about – my shoulder feels…[arm falls off]
I’m definitely getting some, “I weighed my bench this morning (with some barbells on it) and it was 175lbs” vibes here.
HI I’M MARK DAVIS AND MY DADDY SAID THIS GUY WOULD BE MY FRIEND

I misread that as The Masters initially, and thought that probably wasn’t the first time a black guy had to run out of there really fast.
Tiger Woods once drove out of there really fast after Elin caught him enjoying a hole in one (of the caterers).
I had a “farting episode” last night that wifey was none too pleased with. Today I’m making a big bowl of egg salad. Stay tuned to this channel for more passive-aggressive shenanigans!
Show her who’s the boss. Trap her head under the covers! Then enjoy sleeping on the couch, dumbass. How did you get this old without realizing SHE is the boss?
She’s the boss for sure, but I’ll never, ever acknowledge it. I’m a fucking guy, fer christsake!
Napoli today…

Mizzu kid hit an impossible 3. Unbelievable.

Follow your digital overlords’ commands at your peril, but, it’s fucking hilarious.
Nothing like having a video game throw shade at you by explaining how simple it is to change the difficulty level.
I always enjoy when the video game equivalent of Clippy appears and says something like “it looks like you’re having trouble completing the first level. Would you like to change to ‘child-like skills’?
“You’ve been killed by the same lone zombie sixty-four times in a row. Would you like to change the settings?”
I also like when it puts up how to use the controller mid game
I actually genuinely like that. I have handwritten notes on what the controls mean now.
Can Mizzu keep up with BallofLLama? Stay tuned.
That’s Mr. Ass Dick, to you.
Everton not disappointing this week!
#DoucheStrong
Horatio’s father is very happy, much to Litre’s displeasure.
Chelsea seem to be figuring it out. Or Leicester is just terrible.
Derek Carr to the Saints. Where does Jameis go now? How does this affect Taysom?
More importantly, how does he get there?
He’ll probably have to (crab)walk
UH-oh, Horatio’s father is not gonna like that.
That means I will! Huzzah!
Blair Witch Kitty.
Come on you Toffees beat these Bee fucks.
Yeaahhh suck on that Thomas Frank!
Some Empoli v Udinese accion rihht now. I love the different Italian stadia.
That, and ANY team wearing a kappa strip is good in my books.
Looks like Bournemouth can stay in the AFC after all.
Seriously, great work getting up off the mat after that Arsenal kick to the bollocks. Did not expect such a brave reaction.
Bahahahaha Salah. That was atrocioUs
Keeping teevee off, how much added time to white knuckle through?
Jets suck.
It would be the Jetsiest thing ever if their attempt to get Aaron Rodgers fell through.
Napoli (and Marika) look to get back on track tonight.
Falacons at home, should be easy pickings?
Should be, as long as they didn’t lose their mojo.
Saying “please do not wake up early” to the exhausted 41-year old father of an 11-month old who is teething is some next level trolling.
Have you tried the old school rub a bit of brandy off your finger onto the gums trick?
/ The baby… not you btw…
It is also a nice humblebrag that this Lions WINNER is fucking a mid-20s lady
Never traded in Dr. LLL for a younger model, we just had the big surprise of a second kid at this age.
So we are two 40-year olds with a 6- and almost 1-year old.
Now that you mention it, though…our mailman is a young guy [grows nervous]…
Yeah we had our first when I was 24, second 10 years later. By design wifey miscarried in between and it took her a bit to pass through that. But the youngest coming along in my mid 30’s was a significant challenge. Stay steady Bru…
Thanks. Yes, it’s an interesting challenge being the exhausted dad working at this age. Everyone is sympathetic to the junior folks, but no one understands me being spent at 6:00 PM at work at this age.
We’re very happy to have the second, but you’re right, it’s harder playing man-to-man with these two boys, and having no safety help (we’re in Cover Zero).
Cover Zero? BAH GAWD THAT’S CHRIS CONTE’S MUSIC!
No relatives at all near us. And Covid killed the babysitting market for neighbors, so this is truly Cover Zero.
These kids can beat us over the top.
I have not, but I will.
The old Kentucky Maker’s Mark Cask Strength trick did always work for me (and for the manufacturing of kid two) so this sounds logical.
Trolled my damned self, too. (Cat son woke me)
If it’s not a kid, the dogs wake us up. My sympathies.
Yep Litre pug 515, Deci 6 am.
Is Grandpa Litre Deca?
Oooh same age as me when we had Decilitre. Deci has ALWAYS been up before 6. At least there is footy on.
Yep, 7:00 AM is sleeping in here, at Casa Loser.
My kids are all grown, the schedule remains the same. Being old sucks out loud.
I got up at 9:36, read my book about the Crusades (BAH GAWD, THAT’S THE MONGOL’S MUSICE!!! THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR THE FRANKS!!!!) for 40 minutes or so with my dog nestled up next to me.
Now I’m eating French toast and bacon while watching soccer in peace and quiet.
Look, I was dead broke with two kids when I was 30. I need these little victories.
I’m happy for you now [gnashing teeth].
“THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR THE FRANKS!”
– the announcer at a hot dog eating contest that Andy Reid just signed up for
That’s a running joke with my wife. The aspirations become so much more muted.
“If only we didn’t have these kids, we could sleep in until 8:00 AM, and stay up until midnight.”
Yep, sports in Europe or replays of west coast games have become necessary here.
When wee man was a baby I got into Serie A as they had the earliest start time out here at 430 am. Would mind him while Mrs. Cola got a lie in.
